Honestly, there is no day-to-day for this job -- that’s the point. We’re looking for a heat-seeking missile to direct at the company’s hardest problems. Yes, you’ll be a member of our C-team helping to maximize our team’s entire effectiveness including our strategy planning, goal-setting, etc. We’re not looking for a facilitator or agenda-creator. We’re looking for someone who can synthesize data, form opinions and tackle problems with minimal supervision.
