- Your ability to deliver structured, clear, and professional communication is pivotal to how our clients perceive Infinite Lambda. This requires you to tailor your communication style to best suit each client's environment. You will be responsible for maintaining a safe and congenial working environment for your team. You are a natural entrepreneur, which drives you to see opportunities that empower your clients’ business strategies through data and bring in more business through close interaction with Account Managers.
