You Will:
- Execute to keep the business working like a well oiled machine - build, maintain, supply, and measure the infrastructure (environment, equipment, inventory, compliance, etc.) that supports the delivery of care. Own performance metrics for the sub-system you own.
- Identify and implement scalable processes and tools to automate yourself out of the execution work. (Bonus points if you build/iterate simple software tools in JavaScript, Python, and/or SQL.)
- Solve really hard problems with clear framing, a deep understanding of the data, creative options, a clear recommendation, and prioritization conversations with cross-functional stakeholders and senior leaders.
- Collaborate with cross functional teams to implement recommendations
You Are:
- Impact-Driven - You want to leave the world better than you found it, so you believe there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed in photos. (Although we concede those are cute.)

- A Problem Solver - You love breaking down highly complex problems into their component parts, communicating insights, and implementing high ROI (return on investment) solutions.

- Scrappy - You hustle and you roll up your sleeves to get stuff done.
