JOB SUMMARY:
The duties of this job are primarily about making connections with other people. Relationships are formed quickly, informally, and comfortably, in gaining the enthusiasm and cooperation of others. In this job, it is very important to connect with other people: you will meet new and different people on a day-to-day basis and need to quickly form relationships, build the trust by exhibiting confidence and concern for others, and to use those relationships to get work done.
Great attentiveness to other people is required: an ability to read other people, to listen to them, and to empathize with them. Much of the work centers around working with and through other people. The job involves persuading others through gaining an understanding of where they’re coming from and using that information to bring them to your desired resolution. Communication is almost always of a "selling" rather than "telling" nature.
A lively enthusiasm is necessary. Personal interactions should generally be upbeat and cheerful, requiring someone who is warm, helpful, and friendly. Others must be put at ease and feel welcome.
There is some degree of a detail-oriented nature needed for this position, as there will be several "pots on the fire" at once, and a relatively quick pace is required to keep everything going smoothly. There will be a fair degree of difference from one day to the next, especially regarding personal interactions.
JOB CHARACTERISTICS
- Each day is different from the next, especially in personal interactions. Fast-paced environment with multiple projects going simultaneously.
- Extremely socially focused, great deal of attention devoted to building and maintaining relationships. A warm, empathetic, and helpful approach is needed.
- Anything but routine decisions must not be made in a vacuum: it's very important to involve others in the process. Most of the information that must be collected before making a decision comes from other people: potential clients, colleagues, Attorneys.
- Communication should be energetic, lively, free flowing, and informal. A very persuasive, “selling” communication is required at times.
- Highly collaborative position: much time is spent working with others.
- Must quickly trust in others and be able to delegate easily, even with new people
- Leadership through building and maintaining strong relationships

- We love what we do each day, and we enjoy the people we work with – from co-workers to business associates to clients. It’s a whole lot easier to spend the day with others who enjoy what they’re doing than it is to spend each day with people who are just there because they feel they have to be.
