Who this is not for:

• You prioritize a 40-hour work week: We operate in a high-intensity 'startup-plus' environment. This isn't a standard 9-to-5; driving global impact here requires a level of dedication and 'always-on' spirit that goes well beyond the typical 40-hour work week.
• You prefer your comfort zone: We operate at the edge of our capabilities; if you aren't comfortable with constant change and being challenged, you won’t thrive here.
• You prefer to stay high-level: While this is a strategic role, no task is too small. If you aren't willing to roll up your sleeves and get into the "weeds" of execution, this isn't the right fit.
• A steep learning curve feels daunting: We move fast and use cutting-edge AI; you need to be an aggressive self-learner who can master new domains in days, not months.
