• Effective and trustworthy communicator: you handle sensitive matters with integrity and genuinely care about the people you help. You can explain complex topics clearly to any audience, in writing and in person.
• Cooperative and flexible: you must be able to work with both human and technical resources from a wide range of areas, with varying levels of expertise.

We offer

• Opportunities for professional development, training, and certifications.
• A central role to build and influence the development of our services.
• Customers that matter and a position to make a difference.
• Flexible working arrangements that support both collaboration and individual needs. Depending on the customer’s needs, there may be a need to work on-site.
• A friendly, welcoming, and proudly nerdy environment where everyone is encouraged to bring their own personality and help shape our culture.
