• You are well versed in organizational dynamics, know what healthy, motivated, growing teams look like, and can give guidance on what to do to make this even better;

• You’re excited to try new approaches, do things differently, and aren’t afraid to “build as you go”
• You’re a change agent who thrives in a fast paced/unstructured environment and can effectively engage those around you to get them excited about the future
