  • Ability to write a well-reasoned review in a narrative style, with accurate spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure

  • Ability to adapt to changing priorities in order to meet Client requirements and productivity standards and deadlines

  • Ability to travel for additional training and on-site reviews on an as-needed basis

  • Since incumbents will work from their home-based offices, they must have their own access to high-speed Internet connectivity
