You’re also

1. A detailed doer – You have a track record of getting things done. You’re organized and responsive.
   You take ownership of every idea you touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets,
   engaging others, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task dozens of such
   projects at once and never lose sight of the details. Likely, you have some experience in a start-up
   or other rapid-growth company.
2. A creative problem-solver – Growing any business from scratch comes with massive and constant
   challenges. On top of that, Bridge works in often fragile, sometimes volatile low-resource
   communities and with complex government systems. You need to be flexible and ready to get
   everything done effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand.
3. A relentless advocate – The children we serve and teachers we empower never leave your mind.
   You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them (or would be happy to in the future). You
   would never shrink back from shaking a parent’s hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what
   the person was wearing or looked like. Every decision you make considers their benefit, experience,
   and value.
4. A malleable learner – You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive criticism
   and provide it freely to others. You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where
   you’ve missed things or failed today.
5. A data-driven decision-maker – When making decisions, you don’t rely your intuition alone. You
   collect data, you analyze it and make decisions with clear justifications.
6. A curious investigator – You ask why a lot. You don’t just take what you see and accept it. You
   wonder why it is that way, and are aware that the world we see is created by human choices and
   actions – and it could be different. You wonder, and see the world as wonderful even when you want
   to change a part of it that is unjust.
