Notes from Client

This is a contract engagement within the Expere / Collate / AFS Level III AFSVision program. Preference is for candidates who can support Buffalo-based stakeholders (with Pittsburgh as a secondary hub), though Remote (USA only) is acceptable for the right profiles especially if they can lead SIT (technical BSA) or UAT (functional BSA) effectively across distributed teams.
