• Team of Doers - someone who uplifts team members and recognizes their specific contributions, takes initiative to help in any circumstance, actively contributes to supporting improvements, and holds themselves accountable to the team as well as to partners.

• Be prepared to speak to how you would build something from scratch - playbooks, processes, and internal enablement are a core part of this role

• Demonstrate how your skills and expertise would make a measurable difference at Pattern and within the Walmart advertising program.
