Clear, explicit communicator
Strong writing and numeracy skills

Experience in an operations or administrative role is advantageous but not required
We are aware that women and those from minority groups are less likely to apply for roles if they don't meet every single criteria. We highly encourage you to apply, even if you don't feel completely qualified. Some of the best people we’ve worked with in our careers felt underqualified when they first applied, and we’re glad they did so anyway.
