If you want a narrow lane with clear guardrails, this isn't it. You'll need to define the lane yourself.</li><li class="">We're growing our client list fast. Expect to be managing multiple engagements simultaneously, each with its own timeline, studies and stakeholders. If you thrive with one deep focus at a time, this role may not be the right fit.</li><li class="">We expect more than 9 to 5 - raw hours make an impact at our current stage. That said, we trust each team member to build a flexible schedule that works for them.
