You have passion and skills for prioritizing, delegating, and sticking to a timeline, and when priorities shift, you have the confidence to make strategic decisions and manage multiple projects and deadlines at once.</li> <li>You&rsquo;re an analytical, strategic thinker with strong business acumen, and you want to keep stretching and developing those parts of your brain.&nbsp;</li> <li>You know what it takes to create a delightful client experience, and you handle the ups and downs of client work with enthusiasm.&nbsp;</li> <li>You&rsquo;ve earned a Bachelor&rsquo;s or Master&rsquo;s in social sciences, business, economics, or a related field.&nbsp;</li> </ul>
