Additionally, the ideal candidate possesses outstanding oral and written communication skills, including the ability to effectively navigate conflict. CAL operate as a close team, and we look forward to welcoming a strong team player who builds effective relationships with colleagues, initiates improvements to processes, and enjoys our fun, fast-paced, and supportive culture.
