When you join Verizon

Verizon is one of the world's leading providers of technology and communications services, transforming the way we connect across the globe. We're a diverse network of people driven by our shared ambition to shape a better future. Here, we have the ability to learn and grow at the speed of technology, and the space to create within every role. Together, we are moving the world forward - and you can too. Dream it. Build it. Do it here.

What you'll be doing...

At Verizon, we don't wait for the future, we build it! Join the industry leader in Network and Telecommunications Services as we embark on transforming our nation's critical communications infrastructure and the FAA's National Airspace System (NAS) network.

As a member of our FAA Enterprise Network Services (FENS) team, you will bring your passion, education, and experience to this critical mission and interact directly with decision-makers and government staff who are tasked with ensuring the nation's air transportation system's underlying communications infrastructure is secure and always available. We are hiring skilled and energetic candidates to work alongside the best and brightest employees on a long-term career opportunity to design, build and operate the next-generation NAS network supporting the busiest, most complex aerospace system in the world.

As a Lead for our Policies and Procedures (and Run Books) for the FAA FENS Program, you will partner with the Transition Deputy Manager, Infrastructure Team, our workgroup leads (e.g. Network Engineering, Security, Operations, Test and Evaluation, PMO) and, of course, the FAA. You will review FAA's existing procedures, analyze any regulatory/compliance requirements, and translate their processes, where feasible, into our policy and procedure documents, and training manuals/run books for both an internal and external audience. Works to ensure policies and procedures are current, accurate, implemented timely, and distributed to the appropriate audiences with the assistance of the Transition Deputy and PMO. With the initial due diligence, you will establish procedures in a knowledge library in PMIS for the Day 2/Sustainment team to understand where to research, the frequency, etc. for regulatory/compliance changes so the Policy Procedure Manual remains accurate and does not violate any modifications. You have access to our Contracting Officers and Legal departments for any assistance in these tasks, as well.

Our best practice proposed breaking out the procedure's development into three phased deliveries over 9-11 months with the final approvals prior to Network and Security Operations "Go Live" at month 12. We will establish workgroups with the FAA to data gather, collaborate and develop the integrated Procedures based on Verizon's best practices. There will be requirements to understand FAA's existing tools, our dedicated Portal for the FAA, and how these tools will align with our process and procedures. The FAA is very eager to move forward with us, yet they are generally not an ITIL based organization.

Our proposal included the sections, and we anticipate leveraging existing commercial materials with adaptation to Federal, FAA FENS, and custom elements: Knowledge Management, Solution Engineering, and Architecture; Service Delivery Management; Project Management; Resource Estimation;

Change Management - Contract, MACDs; Acquisition - eg. New sites, new business, new solutions; Release Management; Incident Management & Event Management; Adaptive Maintenance; Problem Management; Capacity Management; Availability Management; Service Asset and Configuration Management (SACM); Financial Management and EVMS; IT Security Management; Service Continuity, including Threat and Vulnerability; Third Party Management Services (Business Partners); Service Integration and Management - SIAM; and Continual Service Improvement (CSI).

As the Policies and Procedures Lead, you:

• Create, organize, and maintain policies and procedures, training manuals, processing guides, job aids, reference tools, etc.
  
• Review regulations, policies and procedures, desktop procedures for format, consistency, and compliance with existing procedures and regulatory requirements.
  
• Lead and/or participate in work groups for the purpose of developing and documenting business processes and procedures.
  
• Collaborate with departmental leadership regarding functional business terminology, practices and regulatory implications.
  
• Ensure that revised and new policies are distributed, implemented and approved, where applicable.
  
• Confirm staff training on existing, revised and new policies and procedures.
  
• Validate that new products/services deployed in our solution have been had appropriate training and 'on boarding' for our respective workgroups, e.g. new CPE (Frequentis) and NOC and Field technician personnel are trained how to monitor, manage and install; Run books for installation and maintenance are created and validated by user groups, etc.
  

You have responsibility for tracking and reconciliation via our Project Management Information System tool, Microsoft Project, weekly status and monthly progression reports.
