You’re an excellent communicator who listens when people talk; and when you talk, people listen. You’re curious by nature and demonstrate solid business acumen, you find nothing more fulfilling than learning and uncovering solutions to problems. For you, it’s all about making people’s lives better.
WHAT MOVES YOU
You’re a natural at consulting with stakeholders to anticipate and understand their needs; collaboration is the name of your game. You’re a flexible and responsive team player.
You’re a stickler for detail and documentation. Sweating the details is what you do best.
You don’t need someone to light a fire under you; you take the initiative and enthusiastically manage multiple projects with limited supervision.
You’re always aware of risks and protecting those around you, and you aren’t afraid to raise the red flag when needed.
You manage your time as expertly as you manage your projects — prioritizing, planning, and organizing are part of your DNA.
You see the big picture as well as the details; you are able to identify, assess and evaluate a problem/opportunity in context of the overall strategy.
You believe in fair play and pride yourself on doing what’s right, even when it’s hard. You’re a vault when it comes to confidentiality.
You have strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to synthesize information into a clear and concise format.
You have a solid business acumen, organizational assessment, and analytical skills
You’re a natural detective and you aren’t afraid to take on the unknown, figure things out, and analyse the pieces of the puzzle to add value and make things better.
