  • Builder mentality: hands-on operator who thrives in early-stage environments and can create process from scratch
  • Analytically driven: strong pipeline management skills and CRM discipline — Salesforce experience strongly preferred
  • People leader: excellent communicator who earns trust, leads by example, and brings out the best in their team

Bonus
