This is a technical leadership role, so we want you to bring your vision, knowledge, and leadership to each project. To the client, you’re the subject matter expert – consulting early, gathering inputs, understanding what they need from our solution. You define what Kyndryl can do to meet this solution.

You’ll learn a lot here, and if you want to work toward certifications there are plenty of opportunities.The rewards for all this are many. You’ll get to influence, create, and deliver something from start to finish. You will have the power to delight our clients.
