  • Demonstrate phenomenal facilitation skills and are able to collaborate effectively with other functions
  • Communicate clearly and have a high degree of influence with all kinds of internal partners including senior leadership
  • Be a self-starter with an eye for simple solutions and the ability to step into the customer's shoes

    • We’d love for you to:

  • Have experience leading a geo-distributed design team that works across multiple product domains simultaneously
  • Be able to show an example of having lead a cross-craft project that delivered measurable improvement to users
