Network Team Lead: high impact, global role on major strategic projects at leading pharmaceutical co

This position offers you the opportunity to make a global, company-wide impact and contribute to large-scale projects important to our overall strategy. We continue to experience dynamic growth (our Q1 sales in 2006 showed a 22% increase over the same period in 2005) and the company is committed to maintaining the most current network systems; for example, you'll participate in a three-year security systems project already underway. In addition, you'll enjoy the satisfaction of contributing to the mission of one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies: to satisfy unmet medical needs and improve people's lives around the world.

In a nutshell you'll ensure that the Network Engineering Team provides a stable and secure network to support that mission, including the selection, deployment, and support of data, voice, and video communications technologies used throughout the company. You'll divide your time among three main areas: project management, team supervision, and hands-on technical work.

To be a good fit for this position you'll have at least five years of hands-on experience implementing and supporting enterprise-scale routing, switching, firewalls, filtering, and intrusion detection and prevention systems. While global experience is strongly preferred, at minimum you'll need experience with multiple, geographically dispersed sites. Cisco training and experience is required, and formal technical certifications are preferred. Experience with Blue Coat, F5, and Surf Control is a plus. We're looking for a professional with rock-solid project management experience and skills, as well as excellent interpersonal abilities.

Driven by technology and innovation, Allergan addresses the needs of consumers across the world with over 5,000 employees worldwide, 4 world-class Research and Development facilities and 3 state-of-the-art manufacturing plants. Our corporate headquarters is situated on a 28-acre campus that also includes a gym with lockers, soccer and softball fields, a credit union, and more.
