  • Adaptability: Willingness to adjust to changing priorities and work beyond regular office hours when needed.

Expectations:

  • Working on-site a minimum of three days per week to foster collaboration, teamwork, and engagement with colleagues.
  • Uphold a high standard of professionalism and confidentiality at all times.
  • Be a proactive problem solver with strong initiative and the ability to act independently.
