  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues, ensuring client satisfaction and long-term platform sustainability

  • Contribute to thought leadership within VR, helping shape methodologies and tooling around Adaptive Planning services

As a VR consultant, you will have the flexibility to manage your own day, as long as you meet your set objectives and client demands.
