He’s keen to see you implement new tech, new collaborative dashboards and ways to make processes slicker between departments. Someone with the nouse to business partner with sales and marketing to understand how we can operate on a more collaborative level, increased coms and increased visibility. Someone who wants to seriously get to understands the business end-to-end.
