How You Work

Proactive self-starter with the ability to work independently in a fast-moving, scaling environment

Low Ego You are equally comfortable developing the 3-year plan for the Board as you are digging into broken cell references in a Google sheet. You are happy to ask for help when you need it, and you jump in to help other people.

A "maker" You don’t do things "because that's how they’re done." You ask questions and figure out if there’s another way to do things.

You are commercially curious and outcome-focused
