Job Description
We are looking for a proactive, positive, and fun person to join our Business Performance team.
We want an adventurous and open-minded individual to help us guide our teams through their projects.
We lead by serving on the Business Performance team which means finding the perfect balance between being friendly, helpful, and professional.

We work in collaboration with the Product teams and Upper Management to maintain the priorities of requests and requirements. Our teams rely on us.
