We dont have a specific requirement for years of experience; were mostly looking for evidence of excellent highly-effective work in past roles. Successful candidates will likely have at least 10 years of experience but were open to exceptional candidates who are earlier in their careers.

• Media relationships you built yourself. You can name reporters hosts newsletter writers and podcast producers youd be able to message today and get an answer from and describe how each relationship started.

• Evidence you can learn a hard technical domain. You dont need a manufacturing background.
