• Track record modernizing legacy systems and manual processes

What we offer

• The opportunity to join SISCO in a high-impact leadership role focused on shaping the organization's future.
• A chance to help define and build the "SISCO of the Future" through meaningful modernization and innovation work.
• Direct collaboration with leadership and key partners across IT, Operations, and the broader business.
