• The ability to positively influence and lead a shift of ambassadors, helping them uphold the highest standards and feel supported

• Resourceful and calm when challenges come up

• Have great judgment, common sense, and be skillful interpersonally

• Provide consistent, world-class service to every single customer

• Reliable, on time, and ready to hustle for every shift

• Committed to the well-being of their shop team, their community, and the environment around them
