Rune Keeper (Billing & Collection Specialist)

Do people thank you for making a tough subject easy? When you say you want to talk about “money,” do people actually stick around and listen instead of fleeing to the hills? Are you able to broach sensitive, emotional subjects with poise and a cool demeanor? Are you able to succinctly explain things to people who might need more information? Do you know how to make something seen as difficult (collecting money) into something exciting? Do you wake up every morning motivated to make the world (and where you work) a better place? Do you want to work with an awesome and fun team? If so, have we got an opportunity for you!
