Job Description You've probably heard of West Corporation, but do you know about the West Notifications Group (WNG) growing within West?

Have you ever received a phone call to pick up a prescription? The last time you traveled by air, did you receive a text message informing you of changes in your flight status? Have you ever received an email or phone call informing you of low balances on a bank account, or potential real-time alerts for possible fraud? Have you received an appointment reminder for your dentist? You probably have received these from small business and Fortune 500 companies, but you probably weren't aware that many of these messages (millions every day), and the systems that process, schedule, and deliver these - were built by West Notifications Group!
