As someone who has hired and managed people for years, I believe it’s important that a job posting outlines not just the job’s responsibilities, but what it would actually be like working in that role. I also believe that while we have jobs to earn a living, we have work fields to fulfill what we feel is our purpose. I’m looking for people who find purpose in exploring problems and building solutions that solve those problems - innovating and collaborating with customers and team members along the way. I’m here to empower our team members at TOPS Products to pursue that purpose in a way that aligns with our business mission. If this sounds like a fit, then I encourage you to apply so we can discuss further.Thank you.Position Summary
