• Excel at building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels

• Are a quick learner, capable of understanding and contributing to discussions on complex technical topics

• Have experience managing teams through periods of rapid growth and change

• Are a quick study: this team sits at the intersection of a large number of different complex technical systems that you’ll need to understand (at a high level of abstraction) to be effective

• Nice to Have
