  • Development of KPIs and other metrics to monitor key aspects in mobile network performance
  • Develop and maintain dashboards, alerts, and visualizations to track key performance metrics.
  • Development of training material related to KPIs / Dashboards
  • Ability to troubleshoot, document, and assess proper escalation channel and team or group.
