• You’ve often been described as a “detail-oriented person” and have a knack for clear communication, formatted spreadsheets, and collaboration tools

• Your strong quantitative skills allow you to ask and answer questions about the business, understand the impact of an initiative/product, and report on results

• You’re a self-starter who sets ambitious goals and aims to surpass them. A focused, disciplined, and capable individual who effectively self-manages across multiple priorities

• Technical depth that allows you to communicate with, understand, and earn the respect of world-class engineers

• Business savvy enough with the ability to break down complex initiatives to interface with all levels and disciplines within the organization

• Proven ability to lead in ambiguous environments, aligning across functions, teams, and orgs to deliver on time in a highly collaborative environment
