Need Hyperion Planing resource for MA !

I wanted to share with you a position that just came available for a client of mine just outside of Boston, MA.  A face to face will be required after a phone screen so make sure that your candidates can attend a face to face interview.  Rate is $60/hr.  This is with a pharmaceutical company so anyone with a pharma/biotech background would be great.

Thanks!
