What we’re looking for:

• Good leadership skills people want to follow—positive, proactive, and full of energy.


• You’re curious by nature, always learning, and eager to see the bigger picture.


• You make space for everyone’s voice, listen with intent, and help build a team where people feel they belong.


• Step up, stay flexible, and set the tone by getting things done.


• You’re fair, open to feedback, and thoughtful in how you make decisions.


• You genuinely care about people, support growth, and help create a positive team vibe.
