- Strong hands-on expertise with Figma's tools, with the ability to mentor and guide design teams effectively

- Proven track record of partnering cross-functionally to solve complex design challenges and drive meaningful outcomes

- Strong strategic thinking and communication skills, demonstrated through influencing teams, adapting quickly, and taking a proactive, solution-oriented approach
