• You're scrappy and entrepreneurial. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are comfortable with not knowing the answer to something. You are willing to roll up your sleeves no matter what the challenge is.
• You take pride in what you do. You understand the power and responsibility that comes from building a brand voice.
• You love what you do, not because you feel you have to, but because you're so excited to create something big for the world.
