Hi there,

Apologies for the speculative email… I'm not sure if you are still
looking or considering new opportunities right now but I do have a new
spot available and wanted to give you the heads up! (If you are not on
the market, please accept my apologies! Perhaps you know someone else?
I'd really appreciate if you could take a look anyway)

My client is looking for a Data Center PM with migration experience in
NYC. It's a contract… I don't think they have specified the duration yet
but we expect it to be 6+ months.
I have attached a full job description, below my signature.
If you are on the market right now, or considering a move, I hope you'll
get in touch and let me know. I recruit for a whole host of technical
skill sets and I am sure once I know what you are looking for we can
find the right opportunity to work on together.

Hope to hear from you soon.

All the best,

Thanks!

Meg
