WHO YOU MIGHT BE

Strong candidates...

- Have common sense and are comfortable with numbers – while you won’t be “doing math”, this is definitely numbers-oriented work
- Enjoy learning – new apps, new skills, new ways of thinking and doing
- Are detail-oriented, take pride in producing accurate work and can check their own work for errors
- Are looking for a job that has career growth potential, because we will continually provide new training and experience opportunities

- Has integrity: Embodies courage and responsibility. Acts honourably, even when no one is watching. Making mistakes is perfectly ok, denying them or covering them up is not.
- Is accountable: Cares deeply about getting results. Stays on top of all responsibilities, consistently meets deadlines, and communicates proactively when challenges arise.
- Is courageous: Asks for help in the moment they need it and communicates when they have concerns about a client or coworker, even if it’s someone more senior than themselves.
- Is coachable and willing to coach others: Considers themselves a continual learner in all aspects of life – both professionally and personally. Is willing to learn from anyone regardless of their position or status.

- Has strong interpersonal skills: Actively listens. Seeks first to understand. Communicates their message clearly and assertively. Takes a collaborative approach to their work. Respects diversity of opinion and experience.
