  • Highly effective communicator with good people instincts - able to build trust and work well with a diverse group inside and outside the company;
  • Eager for a very hands-on role, where you’ll be asked to take on and run with a range of projects outside your comfort zone, and learn quickly;
  • Highly organized, self-motivated and detail-oriented, with great follow-through on projects/tasks big and small;
  • High integrity individual who’s enthusiastic about building a great company for the long term, and making a huge, positive impact in the world and on education;
