WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR IN TEAM MEMBERS

• The "Inches" Mentality - You notice the small things, like a dying office plant, a typo in a memo, or a scheduling conflict, and fix them before they become issues.
• Scrappy & Agile - You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are ready to experiment as we scale our Detroit presence.
• Client Obsessed - You treat every team member and visitor like a VIP client, seeking to amaze them with every interaction.
• Extreme Ownership - You embody accountability and ownership by taking the initiative to solve problems without being asked.

• We find inches everywhere around us. There are thousands of opportunities to make an impact. We take those opportunities and act.
• We do the right thing. Sticking to the highest standard of integrity is not optional.
• We have strong opinions, loosely held. It’s not about WHO is right, it’s about WHAT is right.
• Simplicity is Genius. Simplicity doesn’t just clarify; it makes things better for everyone. It’s that simple.
• Ideas are valued, execution is worshiped. Great ideas get you to the 50-yard line; outstanding execution gets you into the end zone.
• We are the "they". There is no "they". We are empowered to fix things, to be proactive, to find a solution.
• We launch big ideas and then obsess over feedback to learn how we can make it even better.
