  • As part of the SBH USA team, you will be based in New York but will collaborate closely with the entire U.S. team (LA, SF, ATL, DC and Boston). Willingness and flexibility to travel is expected.
  • Additional duties beyond those listed here will be determined and assigned as needed. Training will be provided.
