About you

• You’re a self-starter: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, have a bias for action, and move work forward even when things are ambiguous. 
• You’re customer-centric: You keep user experience at the forefront of everything you do. You can navigate between the worlds of experience and compliance, and you never sacrifice one for the other.
