• Ability to lead and develop team members, driving a collaborative and high-performing culture.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to influence change across teams.

Beyond the expected perks that we're proud to offer like fitness passports, corporate health insurance, and paid parental leave, we go the extra mile to offer benefits that truly enhance your work-life balance, career growth, and sense of belonging.

• Boredom? Never heard of it. We're all about challenging, stimulating work that sparks innovation, fuels passion, and keeps you inspired every day.
• We're all about bringing people together - whether it's through open conversations, a culture of respect, or just having a laugh in a truly inclusive workplace.
• Learning never stops here. Whether it's LinkedIn Learning, formal training, career coaching, study leave, or even a great podcast rec, we support every kind of growth—professional and personal.
