- Strategic Handoff & Growth: Scope the ongoing maintenance plan, create customer documentation/training, and leverage your trusted advisor status to identify the next high-value FDE engagement.

We are looking for someone with:

- Executive Presence & Communication: A Trusted Advisor with C-suite gravitas and superb communication skills.
