- Proven ability to lead projects end-to-end, balancing strategic direction with hands-on execution
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present a compelling design narrative, and organise and structure information clearly and concisely
- At your core, you’re a designer who loves the fundamentals of the craft, from brand identity to the details of type and layout, and that grounding shapes your leadership
- The drive to master the tools you use (we use primarily Adobe suite and Figma)
