Must-Have Qualifications & Core Values Non-Negotiable Culture Fit: High Integrity & Transparency: Honest, accountable, and transparent in every client and internal interaction.

Technical Skillset: Hands-on experience with GoHighLevel (GHL) (workflows, sub-accounts, trigger setup, troubleshooting). Proficiency in ClickUp (task management, view setup, process tracking). Familiarity with Stripe (product creation, payment links, billing integration). Fundamental skills in graphic creation (Canva/Photoshop) and video editing (CapCut/Premiere).
