• Ability to Work Independently: Demonstrated self-motivation and responsibility to manage tasks, make decisions, and solve problems with minimal supervision. Comfortable setting priorities, meeting deadlines, and adapting to changing priorities.
• Excellent proactive problem solving skills, focused on continuous improvement.
• Excellent attention to detail, with a proven ability to adhere to processes and procedures while investigating new issues.
• Ability to implement data-driven changes by effectively influencing and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Can handle tasks with confidence, but also understand how important it is to work together with the team to achieve great results.
• Willing to dive in and do whatever it takes to support your team during times of change, viewing these moments as opportunities to grow, contribute to the future, and continuously learn and adapt.

Bonus points:

• Experience working with a BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) is valuable, as it means you understand managing outsourced services, working with clients and vendors, and adapting to different processes.
• Experience with CRM software like Kustomer, Shopify for e-commerce management, and JIRA for project tracking and collaboration.
