To be successful in this position you have a winning attitude, a positive problem-solving approach, an intellectual curiosity, an aptitude for critical thinking, and you enjoy working in a collaborative team environment. You need to be a proven team leader, a change agent, able to reflect the voice of the customer, results driven, meticulous about details, and have an aptitude to see the big picture.

In this role, you will have the ability to make significant and long-lasting impacts on the entire KDA organization by advancing our IT project portfolio and IT delivery capabilities to deliver meaningful and transformational IT services and solutions. As a result, you will be one of the critical change agents within KDA.
