• Confidence hiring and managing small teams
• Experience working in a fast-paced or start-up environment
• Familiarity with booking systems and studio software

You are:

• Self-motivated and highly accountable
• Diligent and detail-oriented
• Calm under pressure
• Excited by building something from scratch
