We hired for a similar position last year. Check out the informational webinar from last spring that discusses who we are, what it’s like to work at the Partnership, and similar roles and responsibilities this position will have to the position we hired for then.
What to Expect?
This is a new position, with room to grow the work in directions that align with the new partner’s interests and skills.
