• Strong strategic thinking paired with a willingness to get into the weeds when the team needs it.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across all levels, from frontline attendants to C-suite partners.

• Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where the playbook is still being written.
