Is this the right fit? Absolutely, if this sounds like you:
I’m a highly motivated technology professional who enjoys working on multiple projects at once with a diverse group of people. I take pride in my ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders and organize their ideas into clearly defined requirements for product teams, providing support to developers and stakeholders throughout a project to ensure the end product is technically sound and meets requirements.
I approach quality assurance with structure and flexibility, understanding that while standards must be adhered to, remaining flexible with changes is essential to the success of any project. I enjoy both learning and teaching! Demoing new features and getting feedback are exciting parts of the development cycle.
Technology is ever changing, and I recognize this in my work by looking for ways to improve current processes, introduce new technologies, and learn new skills. As a team member, I strive to be collaborative, reliable, and kind.
About Your Team Leader
Your team leader, the director of DevOps, is a mission-driven technologist who joined Mercy For Animals in February 2020 after having held various technical and leadership positions in the arts and cultural nonprofit community for 13 years. She believes that a strong technology strategy and its effective implementation are vital for mission-driven organizations to maximize their impact. As a former database administrator, she is highly detailed and risk aware. As a former CRM strategist, she is always looking to the future—keeping her eye on where we want to be so we can identify opportunities and grow in the right direction.
She values a growth mindset and promotes a healthy work-life balance. And as someone who “thinks out loud,” she encourages people to voice even so-called bad ideas—because you never know where inspiration might come from.
Outside the world of Mercy For Animals, your team leader enjoys creating abstract art, spending time with her six (foster fail) cats, cooking, participating in social justice causes, and watching stand-up comedy.
