- The ability to lead design for important projects with experience delegating work and giving direction to other designers
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills (you should be able to clearly articulate your design decisions and the logic behind them)
- The ability to think at a high level about product strategy and vision (not just 'how it should look' but 'what we should build')
