• Continuously improve: Track author success checkpoints, recommend curriculum updates, grow through monthly call reviews, and recommend standout author testimonials every quarter.
• Ready to learn, be challenged, and grow a ton.
• Someone who takes initiative and is obsessed with continuous improvement.
• A team player who believes the best things are accomplished through teamwork.
• Organized, detail focused, and a systems thinker.
• An experienced coach and strategist who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty, be scrappy, and execute quickly.
• Excited to take ownership of facilitating workshops.
