Some highlights of the role :

1. The role involves navigating to various teams and leaders, to gather information or to drive a project, so understanding org structure, what all is happening and who does what becomes a must have and it helps if you can learn quickly. Everyone at Whatfix is operationally busy so getting time is difficult and being succinct and well prepared and using tools like Loom to communicate and set up meetings is important.

2. Good communication skills, both oral and written is a must have. Good listening and note taking skills are equally important.

3. There can be less correlation among the projects and assignments that come along so must be okay with context switching and ambiguity and must have the ability to prioritize and organize on a daily basis as you juggle between shorter duration and longer duration projects.

4. The role involves working as an individual contributor as you are not a direct people manager but involves indirectly managing different teams during projects and would also be fairly autonomous in nature. You should be comfortable with these aspects and be able to maintain a sense of urgency and clarity with limited oversight from the leader you are supporting, this could also vary based on the leader and the project you are working on. Again using asynchronous tools to collaborate is key.

5. It's a must have to be data driven and be able to quickly convert information into metrics and visualizations as executives' decisions by and large are guided by data.

6. Being familiar with tools and / or having the ability to familiarize yourself with software tools is key - Salesforce, Highspot, Totango, Google Sheets and G Suite and more

7. A layer above all the above is varied work timings. The US Team in India works 5 : 30pm to 2 : 30am, EU team 1pm to 10pm and many others slightly earlier. Your ideal work timings will be from 3 PM to 12 AM.
