A leading broadband organization is seeking a Broadband Network Strategy & GIS Analyst to help determine where the company should expand its network next. This role sits at the intersection of broadband network strategy, GIS/geospatial analysis, market expansion, competitive intelligence, and data analytics.

The individual will analyze existing network footprints, potential serviceable locations, competitive providers, demographics, broadband availability, market density, geospatial data, and financial considerations to identify and prioritize potential network expansion opportunities.

The goal is straightforward:
Where should we expand the broadband network next, and why does the opportunity make sense?

This is not a traditional GIS Analyst position or a network engineering role. GIS is an important part of the position, but the successful candidate will use geospatial information as part of a much broader broadband expansion and investment strategy.

• Identify, evaluate, and prioritize potential broadband expansion markets
• Analyze opportunities for fiber expansion, greenfield builds, network edge-outs, and competitive overbuilds
• Evaluate how potential expansion opportunities align with the existing network footprint
• Analyze homes passed, serviceable locations, market density, potential subscribers, and penetration opportunity
• Compare multiple markets and help determine which opportunities should receive additional investment
• Support broadband market planning and network investment decisions
• Build recommendations around where the organization should expand next
• Help determine which opportunities should move forward for deeper engineering and financial evaluation
• Support business cases for new broadband markets and network expansion initiatives

• Use GIS and geospatial data to understand existing network footprints and potential expansion areas
• Analyze the geographic relationship between existing infrastructure and potential customers or serviceable locations
• Map and evaluate broadband availability, competitive footprints, market density, and network proximity
• Combine geospatial information with customer, demographic, competitive, market, and network data
• Identify geographic areas that may represent attractive network expansion opportunities
• Develop maps and visualizations that help leadership understand potential broadband markets
• Work with network planning and engineering teams to help evaluate expansion feasibility

• Identify the broadband providers currently serving potential expansion markets
• Evaluate cable, fiber, telecommunications, fixed wireless, and other broadband competition
• Analyze broadband availability, technologies, speeds, coverage, and competitive footprints
• Identify underserved, underpenetrated, or strategically attractive markets
• Analyze incumbent provider presence and potential competitive risk
• Combine internal network information with external market intelligence
• Develop market profiles that clearly communicate the opportunity, competitive landscape, and potential challenges

• Analyze large broadband, network, customer, demographic, competitive, and geospatial datasets
• Use Python and/or SQL to manipulate data, perform analysis, automate processes, or support analytical…
