• Experience working cross-functionally in product-driven environments

• Strong communication and storytelling skills to influence diverse stakeholders

• Thrive in collaborative, high-growth environments and enjoy helping teams make better decisions

• Are deeply curious and care about people and their experiences, and motivated to solve complex user problems, especially in mental health, healthcare, or multi-sided platforms

• Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and shaping direction in fast-changing environments

• Balance research rigor with pragmatism to drive efficient, impactful outcomes

• Bring a strong point of view while remaining adaptable and grounded in evidence

• Are motivated by impact and want your work to make a meaningful difference
