A non-exhaustive list of the things we’re pro: productivity, produce, proficiency, protractors (just us?), pro-blem solving, and procurement. Coincidentally, we are looking for a proactive procurement specialist to join our team of prolific professionals. What we’d love to know is: on a scale of 1 to “pro,” how do you fit the bill? We’re looking for a spritely individual who’s detail-oriented, passionate about sourcing the best of the best, and fosters evergreen relationships everywhere you go.
