Fitch Solutions is currently seeking a Commercial Platforms Associate Director based out of our New York office.

The Commercial Platforms Associate Director will partner with business stakeholders and technical teams to identify, analyze, and deliver improvements to our Salesforce platform.

How You’ll Make an Impact:
