- You've got a commercial and collaborative approach and can work with the CEO to find the right balance between minimising risk and keeping the culture fun and agile and giving employees autonomy.
- You'll be comfortable taking the lead and owning things to proactively get them done.

When you join us, you'll be an important pillar of a rapidly growing startup. From day one you will be challenged to take risks, think big and make an impact while getting lots of love and support from the team. With our expected growth over the next 12 months, this is a role with plenty of breadth and variety where you can grow with us and be proud of what we achieve together.
