Job Description

About us:

Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem--our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn't an option.


And that problem isn't exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.


Conventional home broadband doesn't always work for them.


Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.


We take the complexity out of connectivity.

The opportunity:

This is a strategic leadership role with a strong focus on people, operational processes and systems to cover all aspects of the Network Operations function.


With demonstrable breadth of experience, you will be essential to shaping the direction, growth and operation of our Network Operations Centre (NOC).

As Network Director, you will lead the strategic vision and operational excellence of Wifinity's Network function, as well as being a strong individual contributor. Reporting directly to the Group Chief Operating Officer, you will be responsible for setting the strategic direction, driving innovation, and ensuring the highest standards of network performance and customer satisfaction.


This role is critical in enabling Wifinity's ambitious growth plans and involves overseeing, amongst others, the Head of Network Operations, who manages the day-to-day operations of the Network Operations Centre (NOC).

Your other direct reports will include the Network Performance Manager and senior Network Engineers. Team Leadership: Lead and develop a high-performing team of managers and engineers across NOC, Network Engineering, and Field Engineering.
