We Value: Consulting roles with implementation responsibility, internal tools/business systems teams, and experience in startup/scale-up environments.

Hard Qualifiers (Non-Negotiable) Experience building cross-functional business systems, not isolated tools. Ability to go from whiteboard concept to live, production workflow. Focus on business impact and ROI, not novelty for its own sake. Comfort pushing back on weak ideas, even with senior stakeholders. Soft Qualifiers (Equally Important) Low ego and high ownership. Impatience with unnecessary process and wasted effort. Calm, structured thinking in ambiguous situations. Practical decision-making over "perfect" architecture.
