Your story

You need to be at the center of a team that contributes to the plan, knowing when to pull in the right person to help you build it. But you also need to be the one to stand up for the vision, communicate it, and know when it’s time to evolve based on new information.

You bring your experience to the conversations, as well as your passion and knowledge. Demonstrated ability to develop strong relationships and build trust with empowered decision-makers is essential.
