• You’ll have to be comfortable with the natural ambiguity of a startup environment and not rely on corporate safety nets.

• Natural curiosity to learn. While you will have product and field-readiness enablement, you are comfortable being someone who learns product on your own “outside the classroom,” learns customer stories on your own “outside the classroom,” and learns about the business outcomes of our customers on your own “outside the classroom.”

• An enthusiastic team player who’s comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving environment.

• A desire to build something new that can change the world versus fitting neatly into a large company with an established static playbook.
