A track record of building order out of ambiguity — leading complex, multi-team initiatives from the ground up. Strong instincts for, or hunger to quickly learn, experimentation platforms, ML systems, LLM infrastructure, or data platforms. A sharp sense for prioritization — comfortable making confident calls across competing initiatives with incomplete information. Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a bias toward pragmatic, creative solutions. A track record of earning trust with executive leadership and representing your program's interests at the highest levels. Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills — you know how to bring people along. A genuine commitment to inclusion, sound judgment under pressure, and courageous, resilient leadership.
