  • Tech-comfortable. You are proficient with Microsoft Office, and have experience with tools such as Zoom, email marketing platforms, database management, SurveyMonkey, or similar systems.
  • Creative and adaptable. You enjoy working in an evolving environment, bringing new ideas to the table, and taking on a variety of responsibilities.
  • Collaborative. You work well independently but also enjoy being part of a small, friendly team.
