Our client seeks a Contract CRM Data Lead / Project Manager to lead the design and implementation of a new in-house CRM platform for an asset management organization serving institutional and wealth/intermediary channels. The contractor will drive the program while owning conceptual and logical CRM data architecture.

We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
