• Technical Ability: You feel comfortable working with multiple technologies in a digital-first environment, using tools such as Salesforce, Slack, and Confluence.
• A Go-Getter: A highly driven individual with a focus on execution, a strong sense of urgency, and a willingness to go the extra mile.
• Collaborative: You are a consummate teammate who works well with others, values contributions, and is a key player in team wins.
• Accountable: A proactive problem solver with strong critical thinking skills who takes pride in seeing customer interactions through from start to finish.
