  • Represent LS&S at industry conferences and professional events, serving as an ambassador for the organization.
  • Working primarily from an LS&S-managed library and traveling regularly to library sites to provide hands-on leadership and support (travel - 30-35%).

This position can be based in one of our LS&S Managed Libraries in VA, FL, TX, TN, KS, or CA.
