A prospective candidate must be willing to live the phrase, “build the airplane as you fly it,” and appreciate the challenge of solving a problem they’ve never seen before. A strong desire to expand professional skills, an ability to improve on existing practices, and a commitment to taking responsibility for all work products are also important qualities of Mosaic’s preferred candidate. This position offers an opportunity to be part of a unique organizational culture and to take on higher levels of responsibility. Please refer to the attached exhibit for more information about Mosaic.
