  • Ability to work well with culturally and linguistically diverse teams,
  • A strong interest in self-learning,
  • A keen eye for details,
  • Ability to learn/manage various software technologies including Google products as the main document repository,
  • Self-disciplined to work with deadlines in a remote way of work,
  • Advanced time management skills.

This is a part-time and remote job contract that requires a flexible schedule and a  sense of urgency to work with volunteer members on various topics. A typical work week is 8-10 hours with peak periods associated with the pre/post annual event as well as some months when the pace is slower.
