Who You Are:

We prize 4 traits above all others:

Hungry: we like people who are ambitious for themselves AND for our Mission and for each other – will all win together and that takes real drive

Happy: we seek pragmatic optimists – pessimism and ironic dispositions, especially in leadership can kill startups – we seek those who know the world can be improved by those who work hard and smart to change it

Humble: not the false “I’m not really anything” kind of modesty – we like swagger! But we prize people who are confident who know they are great, and so is everyone around them… and act accordingly

Smart: there are a LOT of smart people here… but smart is last for a reason. We want those kinds of smart people who can collaborate and respect the intelligence of others.

• You are proactive. When problems arise, you think through them logically and with clarity, surface them rapidly and collaborate to resolve them swiftly.
• You are results oriented and see projects through to the finish line without losing momentum – you are comfortable connecting with others at all levels of the organization to help drive a culture of accountability and performance
• You are an excellent communicator, both verbally and written. You will need to clearly articulate the business, vendor and customer needs and provide status updates to leadership.
• You like to ask questions. You understand the need to obtain drilled down details to have smooth operating success. You can live in those details without losing sight of the bigger picture and the result.
• You are collaborative and work well in a team environment.
