Verizon is a leading provider of technology, communications, information and entertainment products, transforming the way we connect across the globe. We're a diverse network of people driven by our ambition and united in our shared purpose 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.

You will manage the software development life cycle for various SOI enhanced engagements within Verizon Consumer, with a focus on publishing and maximizing the use of intelligence assets created by the SOI team. Within that team, the Catalyst team sources new intelligence into the SOI platform from systems of record teams, then designs, tests, deploys, and publishes democratized micro-services on our Apigee API platform. Those micro-services are used to drive contextual and personalized experiences for customers in all channels. You will work with limited guidance; leverage insights from analytics and market research, and develop comprehensive solutions to complex business problems. In this capacity, you will lead multiple cross-functional business teams to identify requirements / opportunities, develop associated designs, gain buy-in from stakeholders / executive groups, and ensure decisions occur in governance councils.
