About The Position

AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation. At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard. We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD. We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived. We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD. We are seeking a Technical Consultant with a strong networking foundation to support the design, implementation, troubleshooting, and optimization of enterprise network environments. The ideal candidate holds CCNA and CCNP certifications, has at least 2 years of hands-on experience as a Network Engineer, communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, works well in team environments, and demonstrates a strong desire to learn new technologies. This role aligns well with a mid-level Technical Consultant profile where consultants independently support remote and onsite projects, bring strong technical expertise, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to solution development and innovation. AHEADâ€™s network competency model also emphasizes effective communication, teamwork, and continuous learning as core success factors for technical consulting roles. CCNA is a required certification for Technical Consultant roles in the network organization, while CCNP is preferred for that level and required at more senior levels.
