You’ll also represent the solution to clients, Alithya’s delivery leadership, and presales teams.

Track solution design through delivery, including scope and change management, and define test strategies and acceptance criteria to support successful acceptance and deployment.

Define client training needs and contribute to Microsoft platform capability building through mentoring and internal sessions.
