"Our culture is not for everyone. We work long hours, shift gears quickly, and expect our associates / leaders to drive results with resilience, humility, and ownership. You must be comfortable receiving direct feedback, rolling up your sleeves, and spending time on the ground. This role requires a lot of driving, adaptability, and a no‑excuse mindset. If you thrive under pressure, take initiative, and know how to turn vision into execution, we would love to connect."
