- You have strong interpersonal, organizational, communication, and time-management skills, and you can prioritize work, track commitments, meet deadlines, and communicate delays.
- You can understand technical information, recognize issues, ask clear questions, and seek input from the right specialists while coordinating assigned work with guidance.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without the need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.
