  • Exceptional organization, a detail-oriented approach, and strong judgment and prioritization skills

  • Proven comfort with confidentiality and discretion

  • Ability to communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders, including senior executives and legal professionals

  • Creative problem-solving skills and a solutions-first mindset

  • Comfort in navigating a rapidly changing environment with multiple moving parts and priorities

  • Based in NYC or willingness to travel to our NYC headquarters up to 25% of the time
