I'm getting a heavy AI-vibe on this job description, but there are typos that make me think someone added to it afterward.

Collaborative, coachable, constructive attitude Embody our ethos of ‘Trust’ Demonstrable previous successes in a high-growth environment
Resilient and adaptable to change
High capacity for managing, prioritizing, and balancing customer and organizational workload (meetings, tasks, administrative, email, project work, etc.)

We expect you to be an incredibly well organized and meticulous person with the communication, technical, and soft skills needed to thrive in and drive our fast-paced environment.

Also, if you guessed we hit BINGO on "Poorly-written job description requires attention to detail," you nailed it!

We all recognize the importance of earning and keeping the trust of our customers when it comes to protecting their data.
