  • Experience using project-management and collaboration platforms; familiarity with Teamwork or comparable tools is preferred.
  • Ability to establish effective processes without unnecessary complexity and adapt to changing business priorities.
  • High standards of professionalism, discretion, confidentiality, accountability, and attention to detail.
