• Is exceptionally organized and enjoys bringing structure to complex projects 
• Can manage multiple priorities without losing sight of the overall objective 
• Takes ownership and follows things through to completion

• Notices details and potential problems before they become bigger problems 
• Can adapt quickly when schedules or requirements change 
• Enjoys working across teams and getting people moving toward a common deadline
