Role Description

The GIS Manager is responsible for establishing and governing enterprise-wide GIS standards, systems, and workflows that support the design, construction, expansion, and operation of our networks. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), this role serves as the central authority for GIS-driven engineering design standards, documentation practices, spatial analysis, regulatory alignment, and reporting. The GIS Manager works closely with Engineering, Construction, BSS/OSS, Finance, Regulatory, and property-level teams to ensure accurate, scalable, and actionable spatial data across the organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in GIS, Geography, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of progressive GIS experience, preferably within telecom, broadband, or fiber environments.
• Demonstrated experience establishing GIS standards, governance models, and enterprise workflows.
• Strong understanding of fiber network design, construction processes, and as-built documentation.
• Experience integrating GIS with BSS/OSS, construction management, and reporting systems.
• Familiarity with FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC) requirements and regulatory GIS reporting.

Requirements

• Establish and maintain enterprise GIS standards for fiber engineering design, network modeling, documentation, and as-built records.
• Define and enforce GIS data governance, including accuracy requirements, validation, versioning, and audit processes.
• Lead evaluation, selection, implementation, and optimization of GIS and related engineering, construction tracking, and reporting platforms.
• Define GIS integration requirements and data exchange standards with BSS/OSS, construction management, finance, and regulatory systems.
• Develop standardized GIS-based methods to analyze greenfield expansions and overbuild opportunities, including cost modeling, route optimization, density analysis, and competitive analysis.
• Define processes and data structures for delivering new expansion and overbuild locations to the BSS team, ensuring proper import, serviceability, and alignment with FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC) requirements.
• Provide oversight for GIS components of BDC filings, including data preparation, validation, reconciliation, and submission support.
• Establish GIS-driven construction tracking standards and management reporting frameworks for progress, cost, and risk visibility.
• Own centralized storage, organization, and access standards for GIS and mapping data used by business and executive leadership.
• Develop GIS-based guidelines and workflows for quoting construction costs for wholesale and commercial services.
• Support broadband grant submissions and proposals through GIS analysis, mapping, and documentation, including post-award tracking as needed.
• Partner with property-level GIS and construction teams to drive adoption of standards, support daily operational needs, and ensure consistent execution across markets.
• Define, document, and continuously improve end-to-end GIS workflows supporting engineering, construction, expansion, and operations.
