Resilience Consultant

About this Opportunity

Ericsson is a global leader in mobile telecommunications infrastructure, enabling mission critical communications across public and private networks. Network availability is essential—any prolonged outage can have serious consequences, including risks to public safety. For this reason, our customers invest in advanced technologies, resilient architectures, and robust operational frameworks designed to sustain service continuity even under extreme conditions. The focus is not only prevention, but also graceful degradation, rapid recovery, and continuous improvement.

Network Resilience and Audit Consulting proactively—and when needed, reactively—helps customers to:
•    Identify gaps and deviations from best practices in network design, architecture, processes, and configurations
•    Design layered defences and graceful failure models that improve overall resilience
•    Develop, test, and wargame contingency and disaster recovery plans
•    Lead innovation in self healing and Autonomous Networks, including the application of agentic AI for resilience
•    Measure and track the effectiveness of resilience investments
•    Align resilience strategy with cybersecurity intent and operations in close collaboration with Ericsson’s Security practice
