- Compelling Mission: A Google DeepMind-esque sense of mission, playing a material role in assembling the team that delivers it and potentially wins the Nobel Prize!
Is this role for you?
This role is for a builder ready to wear multiple hats, and self-direct. Not for those seeking pre-defined structure or top-down decision-making. Requires a high appetite for complexity and comfort navigating ambiguity. If this sounds like you, then please get in touch!
