Someone who has mastered the art of being on the same page with everyone — the person in a group who keeps things cohesive, smooths out disagreements, and makes sure everyone's still pulling toward the same goal. An aligner isn't a pushover; they're skilled at finding the common thread between conflicting perspectives and weaving it into consensus. The word can also be slightly ironic, describing someone who always seems to agree with whoever is in charge, raising questions about authenticity versus diplomacy.
Every good team needs an aligner, otherwise the vision meetings just become everyone talking past each other.
