    • Unblock cross-functional friction when it stalls important initiatives.
  • Culture and Continuity:
    • Model the leadership values Upwork expects of its people.
    • Be the source of stability and continuity during transitions or periods of organizational change.

Qualifications

  • Experience in consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth tech company.

Requirements

  • Ability to operate at the intersection of strategy and execution in a high-velocity environment.
  • Organized in a way that instills confidence and prevents things from falling through the cracks.
  • Discretion and judgment to be a confidant with sensitive information.
  • Ability to think clearly under ambiguity and communicate with precision.

Benefits

  • Unlimited PTO.
  • 401(k) plan with matching.
