Organizational processes exist to clearly define our goals, but not restrict how progress is made.Collaboration: Success is defined in various dimensions and no single person can be an expert in all of them. Without valuing the opinions of others, finding compromises, and sharing mutual trust and respect, you cannot arrive at the best possible solution.Open-mindedness: Without asking questions, testing assumptions, and questioning our pre-existing biases we risk operating within an echo-chamber. We celebrate the representation of diverse perspectives and backgrounds as a catalyst for creating an inclusive work environment that everyone can appreciate.About the Role:In this role, you'll collaborate with the Lead Developer Advocate to shape advocacy strategy, quarterly priorities, and long-term vision.
