• High level of ownership and reliability with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous situations
• Comfort working in a Microsoft-first environment, including Outlook, Teams, and related productivity tools
• Strong attention to detail and a practical mindset for improving systems and simplifying execution

• Familiarity with AI or automation tools that improve speed, organization, and reliability

Nice to Have

AI Literacy & Interviewing Tools

As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.
