And by keeping an eye on the numbers, you’ll help make sure everything’s running smoothly, and the team is thriving.

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.
