• Discretion:  You are a consummate professional.  You have an intuitive feel for sensitive situations and you respect confidentiality.
• Multitasks: You’re able to juggle multiple tasks at once while ‘staying calm and carrying on.’ You think strategically, handle ambiguity and work well in a multicultural environment.

Compensation

A competitive salary and benefits package commensurate with experience including health insurance and bonus opportunity.  The opportunity to be your best while making lives better for those in need.
