• Ultimate multi-tasker – outstanding organizational skills, excellent time management and judgment, and the ability to manage complex tasks in a fast-paced environment; superior service ethic and grace under pressure
• Attentive colleague – quick study, sense of humor, and true team player
• Digital and social media maven – understands the web and is eager to identify and employ new digital and social media tools across brand- and audience-building goals

Across Atlantic Media, generally, the firm looks for two “pillar gifts” in its candidates. In all of us, these are more aspirational than actual, but they are central in our intentions.
1. Force of Intellect- Atlantic Media seeks a discipline and rigor of thought as manifested, often, in exceptional academic performance and, later, success in a professional environment.
2. Spirit of Generosity- Equally, Atlantic Media seeks what we term a spirit of generosity – a natural disposition towards service and selfless conduct.
