    • Proven ability to jump into ambiguous challenges, quickly assess the landscape, and drive solutions.
    • Experience and comfort in communicating with executives, both internally and externally, and an ability to turn vision into action
    • A highly organized and logical approach to problem solving; when given a large and complex set of variables, you innately know how to prioritize and formulate a strategy to structure and design a clear plan.
    • Obsession with quality and have outstanding attention to detail in everything you do and be known for this!
    • Demonstrable skill at leveraging Excel/Google Sheets, Google Slides, Slack, SmartSheets, and MacOS to track, manage, and communicate the work that you and our team does
