What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate:

• Enjoys special projects and ad hoc assignments
• Doesn't need every task to be clearly defined before getting started
• Is comfortable being the "go-to" person for the Owner
• Can switch gears quickly when priorities change
• Takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do
