Who You Are

Our team is looking for an enthusiastic, solutions-oriented team player who takes initiative and thrives on a high performing team.

You are self-motivated, self-starting and utilize a proactive approach to work. You value partnerships.

Using your excellent communication and interpersonal skills you foster a collaborative team environment among co-workers, and work well both independently and as part of a team.

You demonstrate tact, diplomacy and sound discretion when working with a broad range of partners.

A high volume of work does not intimidate you. You are excellent at prioritization and time management, and can work under pressure to meet deadlines. You are a problem solver.

You love to research and analyze problems:
identifying, gathering and processing relevant information to determine possible solutions, evaluate them and make recommendations. As far as you're concerned, anything worth doing is worth doing right, every single time.

To you, being at work is a mindset and not a location. You can switch seamlessly across modes of work and cultural norms of working in different environments. You know you best, including the tasks you do better when working virtually versus on-site.

You believe that the cornerstone of successful working relationships is trust and understand how this positively impacts productivity and performance.

You have a high degree of accountability, readily adapt to disruption, like to learn new skills, and explore new ways to connect and collaborate in the digital world.
