What We’re Looking for in Team Members

• 🎨 Generalist
• Things move fast here - we’re looking for someone that is able to learn quickly on the spot and isn’t afraid to dive into a new topic.
• 💪 Executer

We’re currently building out many new initiatives and programs. You’ll need to quickly ramp up and start executing. We talk a lot about strategy and high-level ideas, and you should be able to independently translate ideas into action, dig into the details, and make progress toward our team’s goals.

• 🎡 Process-Driven
• You’re someone that geeks out on processes and is a sucker for making sure things stay on track. The goal is to be meticulous enough for quality output but not meticulous to the point of indecision.
• 🔄 Accountable

• Our teams at Signal are small but mighty—we expect team members to work independently, grab the jump ball, and get it past the finish line.
• Receiving & giving feedback is crucial to accountability.
• You should be someone that’s comfortable with a culture of continuous feedback.
