Responsibilities:

Across Atlantic Media, generally, the firm looks for two "pillar gifts" in you, and everyone else. In all of us, these are more aspirational than actual, but they are central in our intentions:

* Force of Intellect - a discipline and rigor of thought as manifested, often, in remarkable academic performance and, later, success in a professional environment.
* Spirit of Generosity - a natural disposition towards service and selfless conduct.
