Why this is a fit
The financial services industry and AGC-level title align with your target industries and seniority band, but the role focuses on technology contracting and vendor agreements rather than your core ERISA/employee benefits/HIPAA expertise, making it a functional mismatch. The Reston location is within your DC Metro preference, but Glen Allen (Richmond, VA) is outside your primary markets.
