We move fast, we back each other, and we have fun doing it.What does a founding team member look like?Unbelievably proactive: always hunting for the highest-value work that moves the needle.Relentlessly determined: challenges are inevitable; we run through walls to overcome them.Gets things done: in a small team, nothing happens until you make it happen.Resourceful: we outthink and out-create the big players with ingenuity and hustle.Raises the bar: everything you touch improves the standard.What You’ll DoYou’ll be the CEO’s strategic partner - the person who makes the company smarter, faster, and more effective.
