Summary

This position focuses on working with and through others, building and maintaining relationships, and working closely and accurately within established guidelines. There is a need for an effective communicator who can stimulate and motivate others while being aware of and responsive to their needs and concerns. There will be many different people to meet and work with. The person in this position must be friendly and genuinely interested in the business, agenda, and needs of others, including the company, its management, the team, the company's customers, or all of the above. A persuasive teaching style is required to communicate the company's policies, programs, and systems. A faster-than-average pace will be the norm for this position. Detail work is a significant focus of the job, and those details must be handled quickly, correctly, and efficiently. This portion of the work will often focus on relationships with others; correct handling of details dealing with others is necessary to maintain and grow relationships. If the job involves managing others, following up carefully, closely, and cheerfully is required to ensure both correct work and maintenance of the relationships. Necessary corrections must be made in a constructive, supportive manner. Time is usually a factor, so the work must be done on time and correctly. This position requires guidelines, structure, and established policies to be followed reasonably closely while working with and for others.

Job Characteristics

• Each day differs from the next, especially in personal interactions, a fast-paced environment, and multiple projects simultaneously.
• Very socially-focused; requires "how can I help you?" attitude. Much attention is spent on building and maintaining relationships, especially where helping and not pressuring others fosters the relationship.
• Adherence to established guidelines and procedures is essential. It is important to involve others in the decision-making; there is a need to build consensus rather than make decisions alone.
• Open, flowing communication is essential. The position requires working with and through others, especially in a helping role. There is a need for a persuasive, "selling" (rather than "telling") communication style.
• Team environment: The leader must be willing to jump in and roll up his/her sleeves to help when necessary. Need someone who leads by example, with first-hand knowledge of expertise. Robust and friendly follow-up is required on tasks delegated to ensure proper results.
