- Become a product expert with dbt in the context of the modern data stack (if you aren't already)

- Clear and concise communicator with the ability to engage internal and external stakeholders, effectively explain complex technical or organisational challenges, and propose thoughtful, iterative solutions

- The ability to thrive in a remote organisation that highly values transparency and cross-collaboration

- Travel approximately 2-4x/year for customer onsite sessions, team offsites, and company events will be expected

What Will Make You Stand Out
