- Comfort collaborating across senior leadership and cross-functional teams, and working in person with the Office of the CEO and other EAs.
- Proficiency with modern productivity and collaboration tools (G Suite, Slack, Zoom, Mac) and an interest in leveraging AI to streamline workflows.
⭐ Exceptional candidates will have...
