- Strong experience with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Teams.

We are looking for someone who is:
- A bulldog / go-getter who gets things done.
- Persistent without being abrasive.
- Comfortable challenging people and holding them accountable.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented.
- A strong communicator and relationship builder.
