•Results driven: we focus on execution and you will be an entrepreneurial individual who sees opportunities and is happy to roll sleeves up and get involved.

•Extreme motivation and collaboration: you will be a senior member of our team and will be involved in all our important projects. We’re looking for someone who will be as involved as our CEO and who will get things done, working independently or with other members of the team.

•Open-mindedness: we love discussing ideas and exchanging constructive criticism, especially before taking any major decision for the firm. You’ll be a key part of those exchanges.
