• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience working cross-functionally in an agile environment with engineering, marketing, design and product management teams
• Experience with hands on UX and visual design, working in a fast paced, iterative environment
• Experience working with tools including Figma, Jira, Slack, Google Apps, etc.
