Job Summary

The Engineer, Network and Voice Enablement and Brand Standards serves as the technical escalation point for network and voice questions coming from Support, Installation, and PM teams, while owning the longer term work of reducing how often those escalations happen in the first place. This role establishes a baseline skills assessment, builds new hire onboarding content, defines a clear RACI for when issues should escalate to Engineering or SE, and builds training and certification programs so Support, Installation, and PM carry more of the technical load independently, and in some cases reach full vendor or brand certification. Reference and training content is maintained in the existing SharePoint knowledge base.

This position also owns full documentation and organization of technical standards for an assigned set of corporate brand partners, across all relevant product lines including network, voice, video, and property technology. This includes managing the recurring cadence meetings with those assigned brands, coordinating attendance from other internal teams, and maintaining an organized, current record of every standards change so it is properly communicated and stored for reference. This role owns a subset of Allbridge's major brand partners rather than the full brand portfolio, with additional headcount planned to own the remaining brands.
