Note from Christene Marie:

Hello!

Thank you for your time to explore this position. 2023 is a big year for each of us on the team; we are expanding and growing as a collective and on an individual level, and each element is guided by our values of emotional intelligence and excellence. Ultimately, these values guide us professionally and personally, and allow us to champion each other in all areas of life.

2022 proved to be a busy year, traveling frequently, speaking internationally, and narrowing our service offerings. Already, this 2023 has been exciting yet busy!

If you are:
– Committed to excellence,
– Do everything humanly possible to find solutions and don’t take no for an answer,
– Flexible yet equipped with assertion to keep me in check, and
– Honor both your word and those around you,

then, I believe you will be the perfect fit!

Those who know me know I am nothing but transparent. So, here is why you may not want this job:

– You will need to be flexible (I frequently travel, yet plan my day in EST time zone.) I need to be able to get a hold of you quickly, include you in meetings, and get your help with urgent items in real time. I realize the late shift isn’t for everyone and totally respect that. For this role, it’s a prerequisite.

– This is going to be a challenging job. I will expect a lot out of you, just as I do myself. You will need to work hard, fast, and smart. You will need to react quickly yet intentionally seek growth opportunities. At the end of the day, I am looking for more of an entrepreneur than an employee.

– You are going to do some grunt work. Yet, you will be doing a lot of fun work, too! Your tasks will span the spectrum. The truth is, you’re going to need to be able to do whatever it is that is required at the time. If you’re the type of person that needs a job description, this role isn’t for you.

If I haven’t scared you off yet…

There are significant growth opportunities available for the right candidate. I am committed to each employee, to your growth and safety and health holistically (financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.) I only want the absolute best of the best. Please only apply if you’re confident that’s you. If you’re interested, below are the instructions to apply.
