• Technical: Is familiar with Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook – media databases and social tracking tools are a bonus.
• Detail-Oriented: Has a keen attention to detail and a commitment to delivering clear and precise work, whether it’s a client-facing email, internal deck, storytelling narrative, a recap report – or even just a Slack.
