  • Ability to leverage collaboration. You understand your cross-functional partners and know how to reach stronger outcomes through collaboration.

  • Experience designing for complex B2B systems

  • Creative problem-solving. You master design patterns and industry standards but know when to break the status quo and solve unique problems with divergent creative thinking.

  • Love thinking big and, at the same time, can accurately scope your work into progressive value increments.

  • Strong storytelling, presentation and communication skills to influence decision-makers.
