• You identify what needs to happen and make it happen. You've fixed broken processes you didn't own, and you measure your work by what outcomes you drove.
• You've done your homework on what it means to accelerate life sciences research and you can articulate why that mission matters to you.
• You move fast, make sound calls with the information available, and reset quickly when things don't go as planned.
