You're excited to work closely with a Product Manager, learning through pairing and hands-on delivery. You're open to feedback, willing to try new approaches, and committed to continuous improvement Key Competencies Required • [Thinking Clearly and Making Sound Judgements]: Strong analytical, critical and strategic thinking abilities.
