What You'll Bring

• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
• Around 3+ years of hands-on experience in a general role

The team at Discovery is small, purpose-soaked, and entirely convinced that Santa Ana is the best place to reinvent general. Our team in CA keeps a running list of what we'd do differently, and we actually act on it.
