    • You are comfortable managing conflicting viewpoints and strong personalities to extract insight and close the loop
    • You know exactly what needs to be accomplished at every milestone, consistently driving toward clarity and on-time delivery
    • Dev, QE and UX trust you and brainstorm with you. Stakeholders don't get blind-sighted by you
    • You have a 6th sense for anticipating problems and delays before they arise, and you're able to either avert them or prepare yourself
    • You have experience building zero to 1 in the context of legacy systems

Preferred Skills:

    • BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance or a technical degree is preferred. MBA a strong plus
