• Experience leading large-scale public sector modernization initiatives.
• Prior consulting or systems integrator experience supporting enterprise clients.
• Hands-on experience using Codex, LLM-based tools, and agentic AI workflows to accelerate software delivery within Salesforce environments.

Benefits
