  • A genuine, wide-eyed love of pop culture in all its forms
  • High emotional intelligence
  • The ability to take perspective of others
  • A competitive drive — you enjoy winning, really going for it
  • A positive, curious, playful disposition (no haters)
  • Experience managing people a plus
