Responsibilities

• Build alignment at the top. We believe our strength as a company depends on the strength of our exec team. We want you to make our exec team better, and for your first team to be the exec team.

• Lead a high-performing team into what’s next. We have strong managers, directors, and ICs. You’ll aim that talent at our biggest opportunities and adjust the org’s structure, goals, and ways of working to be continually more effective. You’ll do this without losing what makes the team great.
• Lead from technical credibility. You can’t lead an AI era shift without a deep understanding of the ergonomics of the landslide of change underway.

• You’ve shipped software with AI tools yourself within the last 12 months.
• You have a special talent for collaboration and improving executive teams.
• You’re as interested in shaping strategy as in executing it.
