You should be highly motivated and goal-oriented. You’ll need to balance managing many relationships while also being data and detail-oriented.

  • You’re flexible. You have the ability to work amidst ambiguity and adapt as we grow and expand.
  • You have a growth mindset. You’re driven to improve performance through continued learning.
