A record of taking ambiguous problems from first mention to fully resolved without supervision.
Experience managing external vendors, contractors, or service providers, including scoping work and holding them to it.
Comfort with numbers and commercial terms such as building cost comparisons and reading quotes or contracts.
Strong writing capabilities for producing clear notes to frontline teams and recommendations to founders.
