Communication & Presence: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a clear, professional, and confident phone presence. (Open to native English speakers and highly articulate bilingual PH-based talent). Remote Ecosystem: A distraction-free home office setup compliant with HIPAA privacy laws, utilizing high-speed internet and a mandatory automated hourly time-tracker.
