• Sound judgment to recognize issues, raise red flags, and elevate roadblocks appropriately.
• Interest in learning and applying responsible AI, data governance, privacy, security, and accessibility practices in product development.

Desired Characteristics:

• Experience or demonstrated interest in media, entertainment, advertising, content operations, or enterprise technology.
