Job Description

Project Description

The Customer:

Our Customer is one of the world's largest investment management companies. Based in Southern California, our client manages close to $2 trillion in assets and is looking for a new partner to participate in a full scale upgrade of their technology. We are looking for talented and ambitious people to work on the engagement in the client's offices near Los Angeles, California.

This program is supported by a team of Software Configuration Managers (SCM's). The SCM's handle a significant volume of environment, configuration, deployment and related tasks. In order to complete many of these tasks, the SCM's require information/input from program architects, developers, etc. At times, work may be delayed as the SCM seeks out (and perhaps waits for) information that is needed to complete a specific task.

With this role, we are streamlining the communication between the SCM's and other project team members. The goal is for the various SCM's to work directly with this resource to gather the information and feedback needed to complete specific tasks. Therefore, what is required is a strong mix of communications (both verbal & written), technical, and leadership skills. This resource will be required to communicate both with the SCM's and many other program team members (developers, BSA's, etc.). They also will need to be able to prioritize their own work as they will be working with multiple SCM's, on multiple tasks, concurrently. As this resource gains experience and knowledge in this program/environment, the resource will be able to directly provide information and answer questions (this is the ultimate goal).
