• A track record of using data and sound judgment to prioritize, make decisions, and drive results at both strategic and tactical levels
• Excellent communication skills—written, verbal, and visual—including experience presenting to senior leadership
• Strong project management skills with the ability to see initiatives through from idea to execution
• Tech-savvy and quick to learn new tools, systems, and processes, with the ability to work independently and bring in others when needed

• A committed team on a mission to change a massive industry for the better
• A high bar for quality and commitment to self-improvement
