Hi everyone at CHISIG,

I recently handed in my notice to Vignette in order to take a new role.
Because of the importance of the UE role in Sydney, they are already trying
to back fill the position.

This is a great role that would suit a mid to senior level UE practitioner
who is interested in working with great technology and some very capable
colleagues based in the US

The job description is below.
