You Are

• You’re a team player - work cohesively with colleagues from across the organisation and be able to inspire a shared vision

• Relentlessly curious - Your analytical skills are second to none and the concept of deriving data-driven insights invigorates you... but you don't succumb to analysis paralysis

• Process driven - You enjoy developing, documenting, and following procedures to ensure they are efficient, scalable, and defensible

• You are an exceptional communicator – being able to connect with people at all levels, both internally and with external stakeholders

• You thrive under pressure – and work well with constant change and the ambiguity of a startup environment
