The Qualifications:

• Curiosity and willingness to try new things, work in a fast-paced environment, and never settle for the status quo
• Accomplished range of skills from detailed analysis to high-level strategy, and good judgment on when to use which one. Plus, willingness to roll up your sleeves and dive deep to inspect and understand, when necessary.
• Ability to step outside the technical domain and take the “voice” of the customer as input into your direction setting and decision making
• Ability to attract, develop and retain diverse teams of technical talent, creating a collaborative and supportive environment for growth
