TYPE OF PERSON WE WANT IS

• Organized – with so many activities and action items to stay on top of, organization is key.
• Computer Savvy – we’re a tech company, so the higher tech you are, the better you’ll be for this position.
• Strong Communicator – good written and oral communications are imperative. English and grammar need to be impeccable.
• Problem-Solver – day-to-day activities involve problems that need to be solved, and our clients are looking for solutions to their problems.
• Self-motivated – we don’t micromanage, and you’ll be expected to oversee and execute many functions.
• Quick learner – we expect you to come up to speed quickly.
• Trustworthy – you will have direct access to key customers. You will also have the ability to work from home, so you must be trusted on multiple levels.
• Confident – sometimes we don’t sugar coat feedback, so you have to have thick skin or get it right the first time.
• Great work ethic – someone who has passion for their work, takes pride in what they do, and does what it takes to get the job done rather than someone who is looking for a standard 9-5.
• Versatile – can wear many hats and take on many tasks.
