They are master multitaskers, communicators, negotiators, and constantly strive for flawless execution. They are eager for feedback, identifying new goals and ways to improve themselves and the team around them. They will take ownership in their projects and accounts while also working collaboratively as a team to develop social strategies that meet and exceed our customers' business objectives. They will become expert-level users of Khoros Conversations and Intelligence platform.
