• Customer Service Obsession: You genuinely love helping people, and you define success by how clear and painless you make a challenging process for team members and leaders.
• High Accountability & Ownership : If you own a task, it gets done right, on time, and completely. You don't pass the buck or make excuses.
• A Willingness to Learn : You check your ego at the door. You thrive on feedback, see every mistake as a chance to improve a process, and are constantly looking to level up your knowledge.
• You lead with smart thinking and common sense, not just policy.
• You navigate highly confidential information with the highest degree of discretion and professionalism.
• You translate complex policies into clear, actionable language for both senior leaders and team members.
