  • You have ideas of appropriate companies to make approaches to or have personal connections to potential high value prizes (desirable).
  • Proficient in using a PC and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and comfortable with email/internet. Familiarity with AI systems is desirable.
  • Ability to work independently and manage a variety of tasks effectively.
  • Possesses a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, demonstrating respect for all individuals, their unique perspectives, and varied backgrounds (including but not limited to age, disability, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation).
