    Comfort working in a digital, multi-screen environment.

    Typing speed of 40+ words per minute.

    Adaptability to a fast-paced, evolving task environment.

    High School Diploma or equivalent.

    Excellent communication skills, with confidence handling phone and email interactions.

    A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a desire to grow into a sales role.
