You may or may not lead an actual team on a project. With Sierra-Cedar’s support, you will be responsible for staying current on emerging technologies and leading approaches in Higher Education. You’ll lead and drive client discussions and technical workshops and, at times, interact with 3^rd party vendors. Provide hands-on technical and development support for Oracle Fusion Cloud SFA/SFP modules including Java and Groovy based scripting.
