  • Strong verbal and written English skills

  • Proven ability keeping pace with past-faced, high-volume environments and meeting KPI standards

  • Good attention to detail and problem-solving ability


Shifts will rotate between 6:00am–2:00pm and 2:00pm–10:00pm after a brief period of training on days.
