What You Must Thrive In

• High expectations and fast timelines - you’ll be expected to fill roles quickly without compromising quality.
• Ambiguity and change - as a
  - up, priorities shift fast. You’ll need to adjust and take initiative.
• Autonomy with visibility - we won’t micromanage, but results are visible. You'll need to be accountable.
• Direct Feedback - from leaders and peers. It's part of how we grow fast and stay aligned.
• Wearing multiple hats - Lisbon doesn’t have a dedicated HR rep, so you’ll support People Ops too.
