Who We’re Looking For – The Personal Competencies That Matter

• Flexibility: This position requires flexibility in working hours, including occasional evenings and/or weekends to meet business demands.
• Gets Stuff Done / Accountable: You are comfortable thinking strategically, but also enjoy the process of “doing the work” yourself, and you take pride in the successes you have delivered in past roles. You own your work, start to finish, but are not afraid to ask for help when you need it.
• Influencing and relationship building: You know you cannot do it yourself. You have the communication skills and emotional intelligence to quickly establish credibility with and gain the trust and respect of everyone in the organization. You must be able to balance asking the right questions with ensuring the deliverables of peers are not impacted.
• Proactive: You have no problem planning the work, working the plan, and proactively communicating your progress along the way. You anticipate risks and issues that will arise and mostly mitigate them independently.
• Kind, humble, and fun: We want you to be a person we enjoy collaborating with, spending time with, and investing in. You may be this person if you already invest heavily in those you work with, and if you consistently receive the feedback that you are a great colleague and teammate. A great sign is if people go out of their way to work with you, no matter the situation.
