Core Competencies for the Role

You lead with integrity: Treat everyone with dignity, respect and love. When you see nonsense, take action rather than take offense.

Deeply Inquisitive: Curiosity, growth mindset, scientific skepticism. Verify truth through investigation and measurement.

You Think (and Act) Fast, and Slow: Fast intuitive mind, high velocity of work, but systems‑oriented, methodical. 85% of the time your first thought will be right, ask "and then what" before leaping.

You work smart, not just hard: Build better, script, automate, systemize tools. Love building robots, learn new tools, enjoy project management tools and databases.

Playful Problem Solver: Sense of humor, joy in Getting Things Done Right. Ridiculously long to‑do list invigorates, not stresses. Cut through gordian knots, satisfaction propels next challenge with gusto. Perfect not enemy of good.
