You are able to move easily between the broader vision and specific actions required to manifest the bigger picture, and you help others develop this skill as it’s essential in enabling the identification of new opportunities for your team and Rokt as a whole - you present these thoughtfully - with the magical combination of gut instinct and strong research/support.
You enjoy the ride. You are professional and act with integrity at all times. You deal sensitively and appropriately with behaviour that challenges others enjoying the ride. You look for every opportunity to support others in optimizing their work experience at Rokt.
