• Self-starter / Responsible / Proactive / Autonomous – We are not the type of organization to micromanage anyone, but in return that means that you are a responsible self-starter who is always on top of returning phone calls, scheduling meetings, etc.
• Exhibit strong emotional intelligence and communication abilities – If you are someone who gets along well with others and finds it easy and enjoyable to communicate with people, then you would fit this role very well. This role requires a high degree of emotional intelligence and the ability to manage expectations in a firm but pleasant manner.
• Ability to work one of the weekend days (Sat or Sun) consistently – Because our clients are working parents and middle school/high school students, there will be meetings on weekdays and weekends. However, you will have the flexibility to choose when you start/end work each day and which days you want to have meetings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills – You will be managing different clients (students/families), all with different personalities, which will require clear communication and strong interpersonal skills since you will be a client-facing representative.
