  • Sharp problem solving and analytical skills, along with ability to learn from history and actively help errors from reoccurring
  • Comfortable with navigating ambiguity, with ability to make sound judgment calls

  • Comfortable spending the majority of your time working on a computer.
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Accountable. Responsible. Team Player.

Relevant classification experience like records management, library cataloging, or spend analytics is nice but not required - we will train the right person.
