ITAM-SAM Practitioner

The Opportunity

In the digital economy, it takes more than good ideas and strong leadership to thrive. Upgrading outdated processes, systems and information is vital – but can be a risky investment in such a rapidly changing environment. That’s why some of the most prestigious businesses worldwide look to us for authoritative, agile and efficient methods for business decision-making.

You’ll often work on-site to personally understand and influence our clients – which could require you to be ready for some travel.
