- A strong communicator across a huge dynamic range: working-level engineers, finance partners, external counterparts, and executives, often across 12+ hour time zones.
- Self-aware and coachable. You seek feedback and self-correct.
- High ownership with the horsepower to juggle multiple (2-3+) projects in parallel, at a rapid pace, reporting out progress regularly without dropping balls.
- You have 2+ years of experience in a management consulting, investment banking, internal strategy & operations, or business analyst role.
