- A tech-forward attitude
- Familiarity with general proofing tools within Adobe Acrobat and Word (and experience with project management software, such as Workamajig, and design collaboration tools, such as Figma, also a plus)
- An innate curiosity and desire to grow
- Ability to stay calm under pressure in a fast-paced, results-driven agency environment
- Able to handle multiple projects for several clients during the same timeframe
- Knowledge of Spanish (desired)
Experience and requirements
