• Are hands‑on, fast‑moving, and obsessed with quality and execution.

• Lead teams confidently while remaining willing to roll up your sleeves.

• Work well under pressure and ambiguity without needing a playbook.

• Communicate clearly, give and receive feedback effectively.

• Want to build something meaningful — fast, at scale, and with real impact.

What You Bring
