Share information. Communicate across the organization to ensure timely resolutions, quality control, and process feedback. Generate feedback and recommendations to central operations, business, product and engineering teams.
Be the face of Lime. As the leader of your market, you will meet with local officials, business owners and customers as a representative of Lime.
Be a culture carrier, and create a fun, inclusive, and safe workplace.
