Learning and growing is kind of painful, and this role expects you to lean into that discomfort, over and over again.

taking on our hardest, most complex, most interdisciplinary problems… to make sure the company runs well and WINS!
Shadow the CEO to understand how the company works, and rapidly accumulate context on our business.
You'll join exec team meetings, external pitches, interviews, product workshops - travel to visit partners and customers, and go very very deep on the most important problems.
