• You’re a creative thinker with a sharp analytical mind and a generous emotional range. You adhere to brand voice and write in appropriate tones for a variety of contexts, experiences, and moments. You know when simple and brief copy is best, and when it’s okay to have a little fun. 
• You anticipate user needs with empathy, and craft content that is context-aware while being mindful of what users are experiencing in the moment.
• You approach problems as a design thinker. You maintain a strong attention to detail. You are flexible and adaptable, taking constructive criticism with ease, and applying feedback as needed.
• You enjoy working hard; you take initiative and are responsible and reliable. You are action-oriented and energized by challenges. You take pride in the quality of your work.
