• Act as a source of truth for your deep knowledge and connections.
• A relentless positive attitude that rubs off on those around you. Gaps and issues WILL occur, and it is far less important to affix responsibility than it is for us to remedy the situation.

• We eagerly color outside the lines! Being a great Program Manager often demands dealing with things that are not part of this job description. We excel at developing new and creative approaches to solve whatever issues come up.
