We offer power of choice benefits designed to best meet the needs of you and your lifestyle. Our benefits programs are designed to support and encourage wellness, healthy living, retirement investment, and lifetime learning. Flex Time Northstrat does not mandate specific working hours. Although project requirements may dictate schedules, a Northstrat employee is only required to work an average of 8 hours per weekday over the course of a month. For example: John worked 12 hours on June 1st to meet a project deadline. On June 15th, John only worked 4 hours because he left early for a long weekend. John’s IBA was not debited for time off because flex time allowed him to carry over those 4 hours from June 1st. Individual Benefits Account (IBA) To attract and retain the highest quality staff, Northstrat provides a unique and versatile benefits package, the Individual Benefit Account (IBA), which places the power of choice in the hands of our greatest asset – the employee. The purpose of the IBA is to provide attractive benefits to all full-time employees of Northstrat on a flexible basis that enables each covered employee to select a package that best suits his or her needs. Whether those needs are paid time off, medical expenses, prescription drug expenses, cash disbursement, or a combination of any of these, the IBA provides flexibility to help you meet your specific goals. The IBA can be used for such things as: Medical and Vision Insurance through United Health Care; Dental insurance through Delta Dental 100% Medical Reimbursement Time Off with Pay Profit Sharing Plan 401k Educational Benefits Additional Income IBA Benefits accrue each month in the amount equivalent to 50% of the employee’s monthly compensation rate. That is, the effective dollar amount of this accrual is in addition to an employee’s salary. Profit Sharing Plan (PSP) The PSP is a qualified retirement plan that Northstrat funds semi-annually on the employee’s behalf through the IBA in the amount equivalent to 25% (up to the IRS contribution limit) of the employee’s compensation. That is, of the 50% accrual in the IBA, half of the amount accrued is applied to the PSP. Stock Options Because Northstrat is an employee-owned company, all new employees are offered stock options. Employees have the opportunity to receive additional stock options based on accomplishment of individual performance goals. Stock owners elect the Board of Directors and are directly impacted by the success of the company. Lifelong Learning Our culture promotes and nurtures a growth environment. We hire and scale rapidly to meet the needs of our partner customers. Through the use of company provided online learning opportunities, periodic company sponsored training events, and the ability to use IBA funds for reimbursement of work-related education expenses you will have the opportunity to continually grow your skills and abilities.

We need someone who can turn our beautiful chaos into an organized masterpiece. You’ll be the one who knows where everything is, remembers what we forgot, and makes it all look effortless. Basically, you sing on key while keeping harmony with the universe (all 11 of them). ________________________________________ What You’ll Actually Do The Obvious Stuff: • Schedule meetings without quintuple-booking the conference room (revolutionary, we know). • Answer phones like you don’t hate humanity. • File things so future-you doesn’t curse present-you. • Keep deadlines in line (for at least a couple people). • Remember it’s chess, not checkers—even if the pieces are missing. The Real Magic: • Anticipate needs before they explode into “urgent.” • Translate “that thing from that place” into actual tasks. • Guard calendars like a velvet-rope bouncer for nerds. • Decode vague computer gripes into real IT fixes. • Master the ancient art of saying no without sounding like a jerk. ________________________________________ Who You Are • Detail-oriented but not a perfectionist statue. • Fluent in both corporate jargon and human. • Switch between “zen monk” and “gentle bulldozer” as needed. • Actually enjoys organizing things (we’ve heard of your kind). • Thinks three steps ahead while juggling flaming chainsaws. • Laughs at chaos instead of crying into coffee. • Learns weird stuff for fun and somehow uses it. Bonus Points If You: • Can translate executive mumbling into English. • Know the difference between “urgent” and “I just remembered this.” • Wrangle vendors, contractors, and humans with equal finesse. • Understand that “quick question” is code for “half your day.” • Have a favorite task app (and strong feelings about it). • Can stump the boss—it’s like trivia, but with real consequences. ________________________________________ What We Offer Your Daily Descent Into Beautiful Madness: • Everything’s urgent until it’s three weeks late (then magically your fault). • Phones that you answer while already knowing who’s calling and why. • Meetings in rooms that may or may not exist. • Travel booking during pandemics and disasters (because “it’ll be fine”). The Actual Wizardry: • Read minds through sighs and hand gestures. • Turn “I need that thing” into actionable intel. • Maintain sanity while everyone else sets theirs on fire. • Predict which “five-minute task” will consume your soul. • Perfect the dark art of saying absolutely not while sounding helpful. ________________________________________ You Are Obviously… • Part human, part filing system, part therapist. • Fluent in Panic, Deadline, and “whatever this hand-waving means.” • Immune to chaos but allergic to nonsense. • Capable of time travel (or making it look like you are). • The only functional adult in a 50-mile radius. • The one who color-codes their grocery list (and we thank you). • Able to translate “ASAP” into actual timeframes. • Creator of order from primordial soup. • Capable of breaking physics while making things work anyway. ________________________________________ What’s In It For You • The chaos-fueled satisfaction of being irreplaceable. • Real pay and actual work-life balance (not the fake kind). • The religious experience of watching adults realize you’re the reason anything functions. • Unlimited chances to perfect your “are you kidding me?” face. • Hero moments when someone says, “How did you even know I needed that?” • Basically, it’s a cross between chocolate crème pie and whatever else you secretly love—only better. ________________________________________ Apply only if you’re ready to become our organizational deity and professional life-saver. ⚠️ Side effects: excessive appreciation, coworkers who can’t function without you, and occasional sainthood nominations
