We are looking for people who bring new perspectives and have the ability to grow the team with their own talent. Vicente Vázquez Bouza, Managing Director at Nzyme, shares key insights to help you determine if this position is right for you :

We seek individuals who bring fresh perspectives, have an innovative approach, and are willing to drive the team's growth with their own abilities. "I try to hire people who are better than me." To fulfill this position, you must have three key ingredients :

• Raw Intelligence : We value achievements such as winning a math olympiad or having a GMAT score > 750, as these are clear indicators of intellectual ability.
• Perseverance : We are inspired by stories of people who have overcome significant personal challenges and have shown the ability to keep moving forward in times of adversity.

Additional Considerations :

• Position Specificity : "It’s not the same as looking for a Director as it is for a CEO." Each position has its own specific requirements, such as experience in demanding environments or key technical skills, ensuring a perfect fit.
• Team Fit : "If we already have a pivot, we might need a solid base." We value how each person complements the team’s skills, both professionally and personally.
