Pathway to Success 

#BeOneStepAhead: Be prepared, work with intentional effort, and offer no surprises for customers and teammates.

Your success starts by positively impacting the direction of a fast-growing practice with vision and passion. You will be measured quarterly by the breadth, magnitude, and quality of your contributions, customer feedback at the close of projects, how well you collaborate with your peers, the consultative polish you bring to customer interactions, and your ability to estimate and forecast accurately.

As you continue to execute successfully, we will build a customized development plan together that leads you through the individual contributor or management growth pathways. 

Expectations

Required Travel: 0-10% travel to customer sites, conferences, and other related events.

Customer Facing: You will interact with customers on a regular basis — sometimes daily, other times weekly or bi-weekly.

You can expect to interact with a range of customer stakeholders, including engineers, technical project managers, and executives.

Training: All onboarding will be conducted remotely.
