This is an execution-focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys turning clear direction into finished work, balancing multiple priorities, and learning new tools quickly. While this position is not strategy-based, it does require strong executional judgment and increasing ownership as the role is mastered.
Success in this role depends on consistent follow-through, close attention to detail, and comfort working through feedback and revisions. The right candidate takes pride in completing work accurately and on time, communicates proactively, and, once fully ramped, is able to own assigned projects from intake through completion, keeping work moving forward and representing the team professionally in client-facing interactions without the need for constant oversight.
