You'll work across multiple platforms and technologies, leveraging modern tools, cloud platforms, and automation to deliver exceptional value to clients. This is a hands on leadership role for someone who takes ownership, measures impact fearlessly, mentors’ talent, and isn't afraid to bring fresh perspectives to solve complex challenges for clients.
