Highly comfortable navigating, provisioning, and auditing modern SaaS platforms (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, HubSpot, Notion) without relying on external IT support for basic tasks.

Capable of thriving in a fast-paced environment with rapid testing and iteration.
Based in Austin, TX (In-Office; West Austin).
