The platform is currently agnostic. Help establish the foundation for the future System Integrator (SI) selection and implementation.

We’re looking for someone who is platform agnostic and brings a consultative mindset — someone who can understand the business first and help determine how technology should ultimately support it. Why This Opportunity? You’ll have the opportunity to influence a transformation from the ground up — from current-state assessment and process discovery, through platform selection and ultimately implementation. The initial contract runs through June 2027, with the expectation that this will become a multi-year transformation effort. Remote candidates are welcome, but you must be open to regular travel to Nashville, TN, particularly during the first several months as the project gets off the ground.
