  • Experience recruiting technicians or other hard-to-hire skilled roles.
  • Exposure to CX frameworks and modern sales methodologies used in retail environments.
  • Experience building referral programs or school/association partnerships.
  • Comfort with light video capture/edits for micro-learning refreshers.
