Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is being a trusted technical advisor who helps state, local, and education customers modernize aging systems and buy with confidence, turning deep platform knowledge into outcomes public leaders can defend.
If you love being the technical advisor public agencies and universities actually trust, this role puts you in state capitals and on campuses showing lean IT teams how to modernize creaking systems and protect resident data. You will own the proof of concept, translate deep technical capability into language a CIO can defend in a budget request, and feel the weight of work that genuinely serves the public. It fits someone who enjoys the puzzle of government procurement, the travel, and the long game of turning skeptics into advocates.
