Required mindset
We’ve found that our successful team members share some key characteristics, and as we’ve grown our team, these are the qualities we’ve learned to seek out. We take pride in our strong, collaborative culture, and these core attributes not only reflect our shared values, but can help you evaluate how well you might fit into our team:
• A strong collaborator: You communicate with clarity and purpose, ensuring your ideas and intentions are easily understood. You work efficiently, embracing an iterative approach that allows for frequent progress and course correction. You’re open to direct feedback, adapting quickly and using it to improve both your work, and the performance of those around you.
• A builder at heart: You’re passionate about building things, solving complex problems, and approaching challenges with an entrepreneurial spirit and humility. Your sharp sense of prioritisation allows you to take one step at a time while not losing the ultimate goal out of sight.
• Results-driven: You thrive when taking full ownership of tasks, seeing them through from start to finish, and taking accountability for the results. You’re proactive, resourceful, and avoid over-complication - anticipating problems, even in complex, uncertain environments.
• Growth mindset: You are intellectually curious, have a critical mind, and seek opportunities to stretch your abilities. You explore the state-of-the-art, you dig deep to truly understand a problem, and question assumptions.
• Methodical problem-solver:
◦ You excel at taking a complex goal and breaking it down into manageable components, with clear dependencies.
◦ You balance independent problem solving with collaborative approaches, knowing when to tackle issues yourself and when to leverage team expertise.
◦ You facilitate productive problem-solving in the team to drive efficient alignment, and improve proposed solutions.
◦ You create clear documentation and knowledge-sharing systems that empower the entire team
