• Ownership, initiative, and resilience.
• Team player with a collaborative approach.

Experience

• Entry-level to early career (Bachelor's degree preferred, but equivalent experience is acceptable).
• Prior customer service experience is required.
• Interest in growing into leadership or specialized roles over time.
• Background in real estate, insurance, or fintech is a plus (not required).
• Familiarity with CRMs, ticketing systems, or similar workflows is an advantage.
