We are seeking a curious, analytical, and proactive problem solver to help drive process improvement and operational efficiency across our organization.

What We're Looking For

We're less interested in what's on a résumé and more interested in how a candidate thinks. The ideal candidate is someone who:

Identifies patterns and trends

Asks questions and challenges inefficient processes

Takes ownership and follows issues through resolution

Continuously looks for ways to improve the business

Demonstrates accountability, curiosity, and initiative

This role is ideal for someone who enProducts investigating problems, improving processes, and creating lasting operational improvements rather than simply completing tasks.

Required Screening Questions

In addition to the technical qualifications, I would like the screening process to focus heavily on the candidate's mindset and approach to problem-solving. I'm less interested in what is on their résumé and more interested in how they think.

Everything we do in this role can be taught; what I'm looking for are individuals who naturally identify trends, ask questions, investigate issues, take ownership, and look for ways to improve processes.

To help identify candidates who fit this profile, I'd like recruiters to use the following pre-screen questions (Answers to these questions will determine interview selection):

1. Tell me about a time you made your job easier, better, or more efficient without being asked.

2. If you had to handle the same issue or ticket repeatedly throughout the week, what would be going through your mind?

3. You receive a problem you've never seen before and your manager isn't available. What's your next step?
