- We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have ‘been there, done that”.

- Strong business acumen paired with technical leadership;
- Embraces change with a positive, solution-oriented mindset;
- Builds team culture focused on continuous improvement;
