Requirements

• Organized and detailed self-starter: You bring a passion for making things work well and an ability to handle a significant volume of work impeccably in a high-performing environment, including strategically prioritizing the most important and impactful work while keeping the other items moving or explicitly placing them on the backburner.

• Demonstrated commitment to racial and gender identity equity: You understand the impact of systemic and implicit biases related to race and gender identity that can play out in the workplace.
