Special Projects Manager

Required

• This role is not for everyone. You will live on a constant rollercoaster of “it’s so over / we’re so back,” and you need to be the force that steadies the ship in large swells. We are far more interested in what you have done than where you are coming from.
• Core Attributes:
• First Principles Thinker: You break down complex problems into their most fundamental components and build solutions from what is known to be true and makes sense in context, rather than how it has been done in the past. You always question the status quo.
• Build with longevity in mind - you build teams and systems that are resilient and scalable beyond your personal involvement. You’re unafraid to leave something you’ve built, even when it’s quickly succeeding.
• Allergic to ambiguity - you use questions as tools and have a proven track-record of making sound decisions under uncertainty and with limited information.
• Master Communicator - you are fluent in the fundamental principles of persuasion and have elite writing, speaking, and narrative-crafting skills.
• Analytical Rigor and Versatility - you’re a dialectical thinker able to properly interpret contradictory information. You have an extensive analytical toolkit and have the intellectual awareness to update your views as you receive new information.
• Demonstrated Humility - you’re not above shouldering more than your share of the task, getting your hands dirty, and you champion the successes of the engineers you lead. No job is too small for you.
• Bachelor’s Degree
• 4+ years as a cross-functional leader in hardware and/or software organizations
• Demonstrated success delivering technology to large commercial institutions or government organizations
• Proven experience leading tech-enabled teams of peers across specializations
