Position:      Manager of Systems  Administration

Level:         Line Manager

Location:      Octel Communications Headquarters - Milpitas CA.

Responsibilities: This candidate will lead an existing team of system
               administrators in the SUN environment. In addition,
               this manager is expected to build the team in needed
               areas.  The current team comprises central computing
               services, desktop services, and help desk services for
               engineering. This candidate will work as part of that
               team of administrators. This person must have
               demonstrated excellence in communication and user-

               This person will be the primary SA interface to other

               participate in ongoing developments, a large portion of
               intrapreneurship, departmental evangelism, and a

               are not direct reports.

               The successful candidate is expected to develop and
               lead specific process improvement teams, addressing
               process issues in the Systems Administration arena. In
               addition, this person is expected to empower his/her
               team to develop solutions consistent with the
               recommendations of the process improvement teams.

Qualifications: This is not an entry level position.

                  + The successful candidate should be self-
                    organizing, and work well in cross functional
                    teams and be detail oriented.

                  + This requires a minimum of 5 years directly
                    related System Administration experience, and a
                    minimum of 2 years management experience in a
                    technical environment.

                  + A minimum of a BS in a related field.

                  + Experience in working in teams, and across
                    corporate departments. A familiarity with
                    continuous process improvement methodologies is a
                    plus.

                  + Superlative communication skills, written and
                    spoken. Examples of written communications to be
