🤝 Soft Skills We're Looking For
- Reliable, consistent, and self-motivated — you enjoy completing tasks without much variation
- Good communication in English (written and verbal)
- Organized and responsive — this role requires clear updates and attention to formatting details
- Open to feedback and iterative improvement
💼 What We Offer
- A stable, remote full-time role with consistent tasks
