  • Strong cross-functional coordination skills — comfortable managing relationships across engineering, product, design, and business stakeholders

  • You lead with integrity.
  • You show up for your team and your stakeholders with honesty, consistency, and a genuine desire to help them succeed — not just to check a box.
  • You bring people along rather than steamrolling, and you know that the best program outcomes happen when everyone feels heard and aligned.
  • You’ve operated in fast-moving environments where the org chart doesn’t tell the whole story — and you’ve figured out how to get things done anyway.
