The mindset

Thrive in ambiguity and at pace: You enjoy problem solving, creating clarity to drive action and working in a fast-paced environment. 

Open-minded and inherently curious: You have experience and can quickly form hypothesis to drive action, but you are open to being challenged and approach opportunities with a growth mindset.

Collaborative and independent: You can work autonomously and are self-directed, but also are energized by working together closely in a team. You prioritise outcomes over role clarity.

Balance of empathy and business-mindedness: You are an advocate for the customer and empathetic to their needs. However, you also have an action bias, are pragmatic and understand that the best ideas are the ones that become a reality.

If this sounds like you, or even if you believe you’ve got other relevant experience and a passion for bringing innovation to real human problems, please send through your CV - we'd love to hear from you!
