This person will be responsible for managing a small team of 2 highly skilled and experienced application architects and will be the Subject Matter Expert for the IBM Datastage tool. While the team is strong technically, they lacked the ETL (DataStage) component so this position will need to bring a high level of expertise/knowledge in that area.
