  • Product management experience or technical roadmap planning
  • Data engineering background (ETL/ELT tools, Airflow, Kafka, Spark)

What's in it for you?

We thrive on the challenge to be our best, progressive thinking to keep growing, and working together to deliver trusted advice to help our clients thrive and communities prosper. We care about each other, reaching our potential, making a difference to our communities, and achieving success that is mutual.
