You want to be well-versed in new applications, systems, and investing! •Strong communication (listening, verbal and written) skills and the ability to communicate technical issues to a non-technical audience - notes and breadcrumbs for next steps are how we survive! •Strong critical thinking skills - you can spot patterns and stop fires before they happen (and you’re confident speaking up to help prevent issues). •Proactive in attitude and team oriented, because we’re all about teaching each other and sharing pro-tips. •Look to emerging tech for ways to expand your own capabilities (ie leveraging AI to help write articles or research issues you haven’t seen before, or even offload low level priorities as tools progress in functionality) •Ruthless prioritization skills - you know the difference between “urgent” and “URGENT,” and those last-minute, behemoth requests don’t even make you blink. •Comfortable working within a ticket system, and endeavoring to meet our team’s goals for 5-star service with every request. •Equally strong commitment to leaving things better than you found them AND leaving a lasting, positive impression. •Be available for support outside of normal work hours (for emergencies and surprises in multiple time zones).
