You’ll help these leaders and their teams operate effectively by creating structure, driving coordination, and strengthening the operating cadence across markets, functions, and time zones.

- Discretion - this role will have exposure to sensitive knowledge so must be rock solid on confidentiality.
- Humility/diplomacy - this role has the potential to accrue power in a unique ways, but we want this person to be decisive and make noncontroversial decisions.
- Very fluent in Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, etc. and other modern productivity software, and are excited to learn and use new tools.
