This is a new position at Ascend, and we've done our best to articulate what qualifications will set an individual up for success. Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups often only apply to jobs if they meet all of the qualifications. If you do not meet 100% of the qualifications but can picture yourself thriving in this role, we encourage you to break that statistic and to apply. Our work and mission are profoundly strengthened by the diversity of our network.
