Who You Are

Your desk is as organized as Marie Kondo’s sock drawer. You revel in the satisfaction of to-do lists, color coding, and the perfect spreadsheet. Every day you reach inbox zero, and you’ve never met the scheduling challenge you couldn’t overcome. 

You’re not afraid to hop on the phone and step in as a stellar representative of a company whose business is all about giving clients the amazing service and experience they deserve. You’ve got great attention to detail and know your grammar enough to spot a misplaced comma or a misspelled word. You’re hungry to learn more about the content world and be a part of the behind-the-scenes action of an editorial team.
