Required

Operationally excellent: You're fast, organized, and able to keep multiple priorities moving at once without losing attention to detail

A sharp judge of people: You have great instincts on talent, can assess candidates and teammates effectively, and care deeply about helping a team achieve its goals

Systems-minded: You think in processes and frameworks, not one-offs - but you don't let that get in the way of getting things done!

Trustworthy and detail-oriented: You handle sensitive topics and confidential information with care and sensitivity

A great communicator: Whether it's a hiring message, a team update, or a 1:1 conversation, you know how to communicate with clarity and warmth

Scrappy and creative: when faced with an obstacle, you will either overcome it by pure determination (i.e., by hand), or find an unconventional approach or ‘hack' to navigate it

Persistent: you may not always find the right answer or person immediately, but you're motivated to keep on trying until you do so. You'll go the extra mile - including Flying to Gainesville - if that's what it takes

Pilot not passenger: at a fast-growing company like Heron we need people who jump on opportunities unprompted and drive them to a great outcome, rather than folks who wait to be told what to do

Excited to work in a fast-paced, high-growth, team-based environment: we aim to move quickly and decisively, but together. You'll be a great team player and do what it takes for the team to succeed
