The Opportunity

Key Responsibilities:

Operator Community and Destination Strategy

  • Hold a deep, current understanding of the operator community: its needs, economics, competitive options and pain points. Use it to shape how we win and retain supply.

Data-Driven Decision Making

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
