You may already have people management experience, but we’re also open to people taking their first formal step into management.</li> <li>Ambiguous problem spaces energise you. The right answer might involve a model, an algorithm, a product change, an operational process, or a combination of all four.</li> <li>Customer outcomes matter to you, and you want to build systems that help people get answers to their problems quickly and efficiently.</li> <li>You’re adaptable, curious and excited by quantitative problems.</li> </ul> <p>Not ticking every box?
