GP Strategies is a training consulting company and this work would be supporting our client Microsoft (specifically within the SMSGR group). GP Strategies has partnered with Microsoft for several years and we are looking to add another ID to our team. This is a remote position, however, we are looking for someone that can be onsite at Microsoft for client meetings, when needed. We are most interested in candidates that are open to starting out in a temporary role (full-time, 40 hours per week) with the possibility of turning permanent (if that interests you). Since there is quite a bit of work, we will also consider candidates that are seeking permanent positions only. 

 

If you can answer a few questions for me, that would really be helpful:

1.       Are you able to meet with the client onsite when needed? These meetings would be centered around training needs analysis, etc. All other actual work can be done remotely.

2.       Are you interested in temporary or permanent work or open to either?

3.       What are you seeking in terms of an hourly rate?

4.       When would you be available to start?

 

Please include a copy of your resume as well when responding.
