• You’re organized and appreciate effective organizational systems that allow you to multitask, prioritize, and ensure nothing is overlooked. You're proficient in your preferred modern organizational tools, such as Notion, Coda, Asana, Trello, Google Drive, 1Password, Slack, etc.

• You value attention to detail and hold yourself to a high standard.

• You thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a knack for managing multiple tasks and projects.
