• Strong organizational, communication, and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
• Sound judgment, discretion, and the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information.
• Flexibility, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to changing needs and priorities.
• A proactive, team-oriented approach and the ability to build strong working relationships across an organization.
• Experience in MS Office Suite, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
