TRAVEL INFO

This role requires travel at some degree but percentage varies both based on clients and the desire to deliver work / life balance. Travel percentage is proposed by "number of WEEKS." However, a "WEEK" can consist of Monday-Friday OR Monday-Tuesday (or through Wed / Thurs). This is based on project need, so 1-2 days or 5 days within a WEEK compromises a WEEK of Travel. In this role you CAN travel 26 weeks = 50% if desired, but may only travel at 13 weeks = 25%. If offered this role you will not be guaranteed an exact percentage, but you will be screened on the ability fall between 25%-50%. To assist with work / life balance no travel is planned over the weekends and travel schedules allow you to travel during the business day - M-F - as to not miss nights / weekends / mornings at home. To be considered for this role, you should expect travel somewhere between 12 and 26 weeks a year and 95% of the travel is "planned," meaning you will know in advance when and where you will be going. NOTE - this client also has international clients and, if you desire, you can elect to "sign-up" to service these clients which would consist of 2-3 weeks travel overseas.
