  • Experience designing lightweight processes that improve execution velocity and accountability in research or engineering environments without adding bureaucratic overhead
  • Strong analytical skills for evaluating program health, spotting bottlenecks early, and making data-informed prioritization decisions
  • Excellent communication in both directions
  • A pragmatic, roll-up-your-sleeves orientation
