Global challenges. Infinite opportunities. At Viasat, we’re on a mission to deliver connections with the capacity to change the world. For more than 35 years, Viasat has helped shape how consumers, businesses, governments and militaries around the globe communicate. We’re looking for people who think big, act fearlessly, and create an inclusive environment that drives positive impact to join our team.\nWhat you'll do\nThe Integrated Solutions Business Unit is hiring a Service Delivery Manager to own service delivery for our advanced, global managed network service program, Tactical Mission Fabric.\nTMF is a multi-tenant network-as-a-service platform that delivers secure, globally interconnected managed networking to DoW mission owners.\nThis is a service delivery and customer accountability role, not an engineering role and not a pure program management seat. You will own tenant onboarding, service catalog execution, SLA performance, and cross-program coordination for every TMF tenant, working daily with systems engineering, network operations, security, and program management to keep a live, accredited platform delivering against contract commitments.\nWe're looking for a service delivery manager who can run an operational service: someone who has owned onboarding, SLAs, and customer outcomes for a managed service or platform product, and who is technically fluent enough to engage engineers on network, cloud, and compliance trade-offs without needing to be hands-on.\nThe day-to-day\nService Delivery and Tenant Ownership\nTenant Onboarding: Own tenant onboarding from contract award through operational acceptance: service activation, boundary integration, accreditation evidence handoff, and entry into steady-state operations.\nService Catalog Execution: Execute and evolve the TMF service catalog: define tenant-facing offerings, maintain service descriptions and pricing inputs, and ensure what we sell matches what engineering can deliver and operations can sustain.\nSLA Management: Own SLA performance across the tenant portfolio: 99.999% backbone availability, 99.9% TMF boundary availability, latency targets, and incident response commitments. Track, report, and drive corrective action when performance drifts.\nCustomer Interface: Serve as the primary delivery interface for tenant mission owners, program offices, and operational users, translating mission requirements into service requests and ensuring commitments are met.\nTenant Lifecycle: Run the tenant lifecycle: renewals, tier transitions, block-fill coordination, and churn risk identification across the subscription model.\nCross-Program Coordination\nPortfolio Coordination: Coordinate delivery across concurrent TMF tenants and captures, ensuring shared platform capacity, anchor site resources, and engineering bandwidth are allocated against priority and contract commitments.\n Cross-Functional Bridge: Act as the connective tissue between systems engineering, network operations (GCC/NOC, CSOC), security and compliance, program management, and finance so the right information reaches the right people at the right time.\nEngineering Partnership: Partner with the Lead Systems Engineer and platform engineering leads to sequence tenant onboarding against architecture and accreditation milestones without overcommitting delivery capacity.\nDelivery Risk Management: Maintain delivery risk visibility: surface onboarding, SLA, and capacity risks early, with mitigation options, to program and business unit leadership.\nService and Business Operations\nPricing Support: Support pricing and tier evolution by providing delivery-cost and utilization inputs to the tier pricing model and block architecture planning.\nReporting and Reviews: Produce tenant-facing and internal reporting: SLA scorecards, onboarding status, service health, and quarterly service reviews for mission owners and Viasat leadership.\nContinuous Improvement: Feed operational lessons learned back into the service catalog, onboarding playbooks, and engineering backlog so the platform improves with every tenant.\nWhat you'll need\nRequired (Day-One Critical)\nService delivery management experience for a managed service, platform, or network product with paying customers and contractual SLAs\nDirect experience owning customer onboarding from contract award through operational acceptance\nWorking fluency in managed network and cloud services (SD-WAN, cloud infrastructure, FedRAMP/CMMC compliance concepts), sufficient to engage engineers and customers on trade-offs\nDemonstrated ability to coordinate across engineering, operations, security, and program management without direct authority\nCustomer-facing experience with DoW or federal mission owners, program offices, or operational users\n5+ years in service delivery management, service operations, or technical program delivery in defense, federal, SATCOM, or telecom environments\nBachelor's degree in a technical, business, or related field\nUS Citizenship required\nActive DoD Secret clearance\nAbility to travel up to 15%\nStrongly Preferred (90-Day Ramp)\nExperience delivering a FedRAMP-authorized or IL4/IL5 managed service to DoD customers\nFamiliarity with multi-tenant network or IaaS/NaaS commercial models (subscription tiers, committed information rates, block or capacity pricing)\nWorking knowledge of SD-WAN operations: overlay management, tenant provisioning, boundary security integration\nExperience coordinating with network operations centers, security operations centers, or government care centers\nSLA definition, measurement, and reporting experience, including customer-facing service reviews\nAWS GovCloud or classified cloud service delivery exposure\nDirect experience with US Government and DoD customers (USAF, USMC, Army, CENTCOM, or Special Operations)\nWhat will help you on the job\nPreferred (Accelerators)\nService management or delivery certifications (ITIL, PMP, SAFe, or equivalent)\nITIL or service management framework experience in an operational environment\nFamiliarity with Type 1 encryption, CSfC, or HAIPE-adjacent service delivery\nExperience supporting capture or proposal efforts with service delivery content (SLAs, service descriptions, onboarding plans)\nTS/SCI clearance currently held\nSATCOM or tactical network service delivery experience\nSalary range\n$94,500.00 - $149,000.00 / annually.\nFor specific work locations within San Jose, the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metropolitan area, the base pay range for this role is $117,000.00- $176,000.00/ annually\nAt Viasat, we consider many factors when it comes to compensation, including the scope of the position as well as your background and experience.
