- Contribute to and positively shape the design team’s culture through collaboration, feedback, and process iteration.
- Wear many hats - whether it’s undertaking Design Research activities with customers, defining micro-interactions, or crafting UI components.
- A natural ability to build strong relationships -- with your team, and leadership, as well as with various cross-functional team members.
- Ability to thrive in an ego-free, collaborative, and cross-functional team environment.
