Network Operations Center (NOC) Manager

101VOICE provides advanced cloud-based communication solutions with a focus on Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS). Since 2009, we have delivered highly reliable, secure, and tailored platforms for education, government, and healthcare organizations.

Our solutions include flexible interoperability with leading enterprise telephony platforms, streamlined migration paths from legacy PBX environments, and strong integration with public safety and emergency notification systems. We support Informacast-based mass notification, push-to-talk (PTT) and critical communications, and resilient voice architectures designed for education, government, and healthcare environments. Our proprietary Virtual Business Edge (VBE) enhances reliability through LTE failover, intelligent traffic routing, and secure SD-WAN technologies, ensuring continuous communications even during network disruptions.

In addition to 101VOICE, this role supports ITMC.net, our systems integration and managed services organization, delivering critical infrastructure, networking, security, and managed IT solutions to the same customer base.

We are seeking a hands-on Network Operations Center (NOC) Manager to lead and actively participate in daily support operations across 101VOICE and ITMC.net.

Support tickets span telecom, UCaaS, networking, security, and managed IT services, requiring both technical depth and operational leadership.

The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, understands telecom and IT operations deeply, and leads by example.
