Skills or character traits we want to see in you

Organizational skills and attention to detail 🗄 ✨
The team is relying on project managers to keep everything in order, so your organization skills need to be on point in order to keep everyone on track.

Excellent Communication Skills 🗣️👂
You must be able to clearly articulate your message, not just verbally, but also in written and in nonverbal communication. Developing effective working relationships across the organization comes naturally because of this.

Ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment 🏃 🤹
Jobs in this field require the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously as well as the ability to manage a project from start to completion to delivery.

Proficiency in Google Drive, Sheets & Docs 📑 👍
If you have a basic understanding of Google Drive, and know a handful of formulas in Google Sheets, and you’ll do just fine. The rest can be taught.

And most importantly…

  • I get it: I understand the inner workings, systems, and responsibilities of my position 👍
  • I want it: I love to do my job 🙌
  • I have the capacity for it: I have the mental, physical, and emotional ability to do my job 💪
