The Person We Are Looking For:
We need a people person and creative problem solver who thrives in the fast pace of a startup.

You’ll work on new problems each day and be challenged to think on your feet. The ideal candidates are comfortable working with autonomy, working with hosts, and enjoying continuous learning. If you want to think creatively, solve challenging problems, and work on a highly collaborative team, this role is for you!

• Adaptable and High-Energy: Thrives in fast-paced, ever-changing environments with a positive and resilient attitude.
• Customer-Centric Communicator: Enjoys engaging with people, confidently initiating conversations, and building rapport with new individuals.
• Exceptional Communication: Demonstrates strong verbal and written communication skills, able to convey ideas clearly and professionally.
• Empathetic yet Assertive: Strikes a healthy balance between compassion and confidence when navigating customer interactions.
• Tech-Savvy and Quick Learner: Proficient in using computers and open to learning new tools and technologies with ease.
• Creative Problem Solver: Navigates ambiguity by thinking critically and solving problems, even in the absence of clear guidelines—while remaining aligned with company policies.
• Versatile and Growth-Oriented: Willing and able to learn new skills or fill operational gaps as needed to support team success.
• Proactive Self-Starter: Takes initiative, demonstrates a strong work ethic, and maintains a cooperative and solution-focused approach.
