🔧 The position

• Negotiate telecom carrier deals. We work with telecom carriers and operators globally. Our contacts include MNOs, MVNOs, and roaming providers. It will be your bread and butter to negotiate supply-side deals across all different players and geographies. Including COGS negotiation, contract negotiation, and strategic direction to manage margin ($ and %), along with driving growth MoM and YoY. This includes initial market launches as well as renegotiating and improving supply-side sourcing continuously.
• Build out our supply-side negotiation strategy. As the first dedicated telecom team member, you establish the deal structures and operators partnership framework for the delivery of the Gigs platform. You will be the subject-matter expert for business and regulatory affairs associated with the telecommunications industry on new and prospective product/service launches.
• Manage stakeholders. As the leading supply-side figure, you’ll have to manage external and internal stakeholders. You’ll foster and drive external relationships with our suppliers while managing the involvement of our supply in many internal, cross-functional projects. This includes leading the business escalation process with each telecom provider to ensure proper attention is given at appropriate intervals to critical service issues. As well as communicating strategy and progress internally, and collaborating with business development, executive, finance, legal, marketing, product, and engineering.
• Challenge industry norms. Gigs wouldn’t be where it is today if we didn’t think outside the box and challenge boundaries when it comes to telecom. A big part of your job will be to find ways to mold telecom operators to what Gigs needs, establish new internal and external avenues that leverage our integrations, and are quick to find smart solutions to old problems.
• Over the next months and years, we'll build up an telecom team around you.
