The role also involves close collaboration with engineers, program managers, and subject matter experts, as well as providing peer level assistance and mentorship on model usage and best practices. The selected candidate will also lead and assist a team in getting an unclassified Teamwork Cloud instantiation up and running for a few different efforts.
