• Rollout repeatable programs provided by the Marketing and Community Partnerships teams to grow Sofar in a well-organized and scalable way, with an emphasis on community and audience diversification

• Energized by meeting new people and bringing them together, particularly across cultures
• An excellent communicator, both in writing and speaking
