  • Foster Communication: Coordinate effectively across multiple time zones (US, Europe, India, APAC) and foster a culture of transparent communication, normalizing timely and informal feedback to empower and develop the team
  • While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters
