• Know what you don’t know, but follow the risk in any given scenario.
• Excellent written communication skills that create a positive customer experience, even when a customer turns out to not be a great fit.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, geographically-distributed environment.
• Flexibility to work a variety of shifts, as needed.

• Market range for this role at NorthOne is $50,000 - $60,000 depending on experience.

Few people have been trained for this sort of role and research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply if they haven’t satisfied every requirement. If you are this close to what we’ve described, but aren’t sure, apply. Let’s figure out together if this is where you could shine.
