• Highly organized and process-oriented, with strong attention to detail and prioritization skills.
• Self-directed ownership mindset and comfort operating autonomously while collaborating in a team-first culture.
• Strong research and analytical problem-solving skills and sound judgment in evaluating professional service providers.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with Microsoft Office, LinkedIn, Salesforce, and LLM-based tools (similar to ChatGPT).
