Collaborative: Ability to build and maintain partnerships within insights, outside agencies, and among cross-functional partners across the organization.

Flexible: Be flexible and creative to adjust/adapt to changing priorities and business challenges. Ability to thrive in ambiguity, while showing strong drive for results.
