This is not a 100% remote position. While most of the time the work can be done remotely, the successful candidate will be expected to come into the Clinton Township, MI office once a week and therefore needs to be local. Please do not apply if you are not able to come into the office one day week for 2-3 hours.

Flexible work from home options available.
