Roles I’m Working On as 2024 Winds Down

Hard to believe Halloween is behind us and we’ve already set the clocks back as 2024 winds down to a close. Here are the roles I’m actively working on; my clients are always open to exploratory conversations with qualified candidates.

Kindly review each carefully and keep in mind all of the above clients are looking for a good fit: expect most candidates to step into the roles with a good deal of confidence; will lack interest in candidates that require training or experience in the types of projects they do.
