Purpose-Driven – A strong sense of passion for our mission and a real sense of this role and company being a great fit for the gifts, talents, passions, and experiences with which God has entrusted this person. Must be mission-motivated and maintain a resolve to overcome obstacles anchored in a sense of purpose in the work.
Servant Leadership – Nobody is above any task and we are all here to serve others. Every customer—internal or external—is in need of help, and the most powerful way to lead will be to serve at a high level.
Learning and Adaptive – In a small business with a big mission, new systems, technology, and situational adaptability will be normal. This person must have an appetite for learning and skill improvement.
Grit, Determination, and Resourcefulness – Not everything will have a pre-planned solution. This person will have to be resourceful in figuring things out, resist being overwhelmed, and be willing to roll up their sleeves until they make it work. Whether looping in other people, finding tools online, or seeking out best practices, this person will have to have an open mind and good resolve.

This person gets to help bring the Kingdom of God to the office by being a constant organizational force. It will require a capacity for seeing patterns, discerning better processes, and prioritizing and systemizing for improved outcomes.
Chemistry Fit – This is a fun culture. We laugh, we work hard, we press hard, we jump in to figure things out. Fitting into the team chemistry is essential—particularly for a small home office team!
