Preferred Skills Startup or services ecosystem experience. Must-Have Requirements (Non-Negotiables) Has run an operating cadence before (reviews, standups, or a governance rhythm — company-wide or team-level) and can state its numbers: meetings run, closure rate, what broke when they were absent. Passes a live work-sample test: 30 minutes with a messy meeting transcript and a half-filled tracker — produce the MOM, the updated tracker, and the three follow-up messages. Live in the interview. No take-home. No exceptions. Handles the data-conflict drill: two sheets show different numbers for the same metric — explains how they decide which is true and what they say in the review. Correct instinct: Finance P&L; is canonical; flag the discrepancy proactively, never present both silently. Accepts the workload out loud: standups, in-office base, daily chasing, weekly review against numbers, naming individuals in status updates — including negative ones.
