Desired Traits
- You have a can-do attitude. You’re a self-starter who is willing to pitch in and do whatever it takes. You don’t sit-back for work to be assigned, but are proactive in seeking out opportunities to contribute and help where you can.
- You understand that customer service means making customers delighted.
- You want to go above and beyond to make sure the client is satisfied and happy.
- You get that hard work means doing whatever it takes. You’re not looking for a cushy ‘lifestyle’ job. You push yourself for the opportunity to take on more responsibility.
- You have great communication skills. You’re succinct and direct, when needed, but can also shoot the breeze with clients. You’re not afraid to ask questions when you’re uncertain, but you’ll defend your position when you’re sure of yourself.
- Setbacks and failures only motivate you to further succeed. We’re a start-up and not everything is going to be an instant success, so you’ll need to keep a positive attitude and continue pressing forward, despite the road bumps we encounter along the way.
- Inefficiency and needless red tape drive you crazy. You want to optimize processes and make things work smoothly. If something isn’t right, you’ll fix it.
- You love data. You seek out ways to bring data to decision making. You want to test and track everything and anything.
- You like ambiguous problems. You thrive putting structure around the unstructured, and making sense of the unknown.
- You’re laid-back and don’t take yourself too seriously. You work hard, but you bring a positive attitude to the job. You like to give (and get) high-fives!
