Here's a little bit about us.

We are proactive. We get ahead of potential problems. We plan and take action to intentionally create success.

We serve. We serve our teammates, our communities, and our clients. Service to these interdependent stakeholders is paramount to our ongoing success.

We achieve. We hold the bar high, challenge ourselves to continuously improve, and give the best effort possible in each situation, learning and growing as we go.

So, enough about us, what about you? Who will succeed in this role?

The focus of this job is on achieving new business results that are aligned with the larger picture of the organization and its strategic goals.

The job requires getting things done quickly and handling a variety of activities. Self-assurance and the confidence to purposely drive toward results while constantly problem-solving and engaging the commitment of others is essential.

The emphasis on building rapport and relationships with individuals and groups requires an outgoing, poised, and persuasive communication style. Because the pace of the work is faster than average, the ability to learn quickly and thoroughly while continually recognizing and adapting to changing conditions is critical.

While the job requires the ability to act independently, a sense of urgency, and the confidence to handle a variety of challenges, a full commitment to the success of the business and high standards of achievement are expected in this position. The emphasis is on results and effective systems that achieve results. The job environment is flexible and constantly changing and provides growth opportunities, recognition, and rewards for achieving business results.
