• Demonstrated ability to build effective working relationships across roles and levels, and to communicate clearly with diverse audiences (new hires through senior clinical staff).
• Track record of adapting quickly to shifting priorities and taking on new or undefined tasks as organizational needs change.
• Comfortable working hands-on – this role executes training tasks directly, not just manages them.
