More About Our Team
Everything we do on the communications team is driven by business impact. We work collaboratively and cross-functionally but every project has one owner who is empowered as the key decision maker. We have a distributed team united by our shared goals. We determine success metrics up front and restlessly drive towards them. We strive for transparency and awareness in everything we do, but we are comfortable not knowing the details of everything. We embrace our “open company, no bullshit” value and have the grit to tell it like it is. We're good listeners. We move really fast. We take risks and fail (which is OK!). We take away vital lessons to ensure we don't repeat the same mistakes again. We play as a team.
