• Comfortable using LinkedIn and email as primary outreach tools.
• Passionate about industry trends and sharing relevant insights.
• Organized, self-motivated, and capable of managing multiple conversations and priorities.
• Team player who thrives in a collaborative, remote environment.

• Experience in community building, partnerships, audience development, or thought leadership is a plus.
