• A flair for creativity and conceptual thinking, bonus points for design knowledge!
• Excellent communication and stakeholder skills, you’re confident collaborating with everyone from creatives to content editors.
• Excellent organisation skills.
• An audience-first mindset, with a willingness to explore data and trends to guide decisions.
