Collaborative - you’ll have a passion and skill for building strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect
Detail focused - you’ll have an eye for the details and an appreciation of data and analytics, using these two skills to drive your decisions
Adaptable - you will be as comfortable working with ambiguity as you are with certainty. We need someone who can be agile enough to respond to changing priorities, but be able to hold clear on the long term path ahead
Curiosity to learn, grow - we don’t expect you to be an expert, but we’ll need you to have a positive, can-do attitude - with a willingness to learn new things
Ability to multi-task - you must be able to handle multiple tasks - often at the same time. You’ll also have the ability to start, stop, pick-up and complete tasks on a recurring basis
