Is Five Elms right for you?

You are professional. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our work very seriously. You know how to have lots of balls in the air that can’t be dropped. You can be trusted and handle confidential information with the utmost care.

You are unflappable. Unforeseen things happen, and always at the last minute. You should be able to pause and laugh for a brief second before quickly taking action to make problems disappear seamlessly.

You are a great communicator. You are articulate with strong writing and interpersonal skills. Presenting well and succinctly via email is key.

You are detail-oriented. There are hundreds of details to keep track of and you are always on top of it.

You are a proactive team member. This is your nature. You anticipate needs and think ahead before someone even thinks to ask. “That’s not my job” does not cross your mind.

You are resourceful. You thrive on being told something isn’t possible and then figuring out how to get it done.

We offer paid employee benefits, retirement savings and generous time off. We look forward to meeting you!
