- Operational Capability: We are a startup and need people who are ready to get their hands dirty and are biassed towards action.
- Self-starter: You can independently lead and manage projects. You know when to ask for help, but also trust your analytical frameworks.
- A thinker and a doer: You can hold multiple stakeholders’ perspectives in your head, devise a solution, and then rapidly build consensus around that solution.
- Customer service focus: You view and approach KWH partners with a relationship mindset being responsive and working together to solve problems. 

Pay range:

- Pay range: $33-36/hour + equity + benefits. At kWh Analytics, it's typical for external candidates to be hired near the middle of the pay range for their role.
