Own the opportunity as a Network Manager and help ensure the mission is never interrupted. At GDIT, we deliver clarity with our cloud solutions and provide meaningful work. Your work will be an important part of transforming our clients for the modern age and help them face any obstacle.

At GDIT, people are our differentiator. As a Network Manager , you will help ensure today is safe and tomorrow is smarter. Our work depends on a Network Manager joining our dynamic team to lead a general Network Engineering organization that spans traditional routing and switching, cloud networking, enterprise network security, visibility, and modern operations. We are looking for a proven people and technical leader who is forward-thinking, excited about emerging technologies, and able to drive delivery across a high-performing team in an environment of customer mission delivery, integrity, and clear communications.

We are looking for someone who brings deep experience across Cisco routing/switching, cloud networking, next-generation firewalls and SASE platforms, network visibility and microsegmentation, and modern monitoring/observability tools — and who thrives on evaluating and adopting new technologies that improve reliability, security, and operational efficiency. If you love leading technical teams, staying ahead of the technology curve, and delivering program milestones, we would love to hear from you!
HOW A NETWORK MANAGER WILL MAKE AN IMPACT:

- Provides strong people leadership: coaching, performance management, career development, hiring support, and retention of high-performing technical talent; fosters a culture of accountability, technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning.

- Champions a forward-thinking technology strategy; actively evaluates emerging networking, cloud, security, and observability technologies and drives adoption of solutions that improve reliability, security posture, automation, and operational efficiency.

- Serves as a primary escalation point for complex technical and operational issues across routing/switching, cloud networking, network security, and monitoring domains; coordinates with senior engineers on architecture decisions, major incidents, and high-risk changes.

- Partners with Program Management, security operations, cloud, infrastructure, and other Service Tower leads to ensure seamless cross-domain integration and end-to-end service delivery.

- Manages stakeholder relationships with customers and partners; represents the Network Engineering team in operational reviews, architecture discussions, change control forums, and technology roadmap conversations.

- Drives capacity planning, resource forecasting, and coordination of hardware, software, cloud, and tooling investments in support of network service delivery.

- Ensures documentation, runbooks, knowledge transfer, monitoring coverage, and operational readiness standards are maintained across the team; supports audit and compliance activities as needed.
