• Skilled at building trust and moving conversations forward in online communities
• Proficient with digital tools that support operations and collaboration (i.e. Asana & Slack), as well as apps that support a healthy, functioning online community
• Demonstrated ability to work remotely, on a non-traditional schedule, in a highly collaborative environment
