    A top candidate will have these qualities:
    • Driven by the missions of Environment America, PIRG, and The Public Interest Network
    • Highly organized - Good at developing and/or learning systems for yourself, and helping others adopt those systems as needed
    • Problem-solver - If something is going wrong, you're ready to figure out not just how to solve it, but how to make sure it doesn't happen again, whether it's a database that's crashed, or a reporting drill that not everyone uses.
    • Clear communicator - you'll be the go-to person on our team for information. Figuring out how to communicate information out to people on our team, and to staff on other teams in our network, is a big part of this role.
