About You 

You enjoy the process of collaborating with team members to overcome challenges. You see projects through to the end and ensure that the best decisions for the team, not necessarily your ideas, are what take precedence. Along the way, you’re capable of communicating what you’re thinking through multiple avenues of communication, taking in others’ ideas as well as expressing your own. You’re guided equally by your own intuition and delivering the best results to the customer. You’re comfortable around ambiguity with a high degree of autonomy but are also not afraid to seek guidance when needed. You are deadline-driven, adaptable, and analytical.
