Project Overview:
This project involves a critical transition phase away from the current vendor to a newly onboarded team of senior technical specialists. The transition will be carried out by a group of senior professionals with prior experience performing similar handovers, ensuring continuity and minimizing service disruption.
* Immediate joiners are required due to the urgency and complexity of the work.
Team Structure:
The existing operational team is primarily offshore, and no one currently possesses the required technical skillset to support the transition.
The incoming senior team will therefore play a leading role in knowledge transfer, environment understanding, and stabilisation activities.
Work Location & Access Requirements:
Consultants must be ready to work on‑site at Warwick. Physical presence will be required only during key transition activities (e.g., environment discovery, workshops, system walk‑throughs).
Travel is limited to the transition phase only.
Once the transition milestones are completed and environments stabilize, the contractor will work in a hybrid mode from one the locations stated above.
