• Drive user adoption and change management associated with new functionality, implementations and upgrades

Location and Community: Highland, Illinois (This position is open to candidates who are local to the Highland/St. Louis area, those willing to relocate with company assistance, as well as remote* candidates.)

Highland offers a nice combination of small-town living and easy access to a major metropolitan area. With a population of approximately 9,000, Highland provides an affordable, community-oriented environment while being only about 30 miles from downtown St. Louis. For someone who wants the ability to enjoy a quieter community without giving up the restaurants, entertainment, professional opportunities and amenities of a major city, Highland offers an appealing balance.

Local employees will have a hybrid work schedule. Remote employees should expect to spend time onsite each week during the first month to become familiar with the team, company and systems. Following the initial onboarding period, onsite visits will generally be required approximately once per month for a period of time.
