Your attention to detail will be paramount as you handle applications, ensuring compliance with quality standards while maintaining efficiency.

Experience in a customer service environment is essential, along with strong communication skills to convey information clearly and professionally. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Outlook, Excel, and Word, is required.

As a proactive team player, you will be capable of working independently and under pressure, contributing to the overall success of the organization.
