• Communicate clearly and regularly with clients via email, Slack, phone, etc.
• Schedule and participate in meetings to present work and/or discuss challenges and solutions in real-time
• Manage frequent changes to project scope and schedule
• Solve day-to-day problems and exercise good judgment, including the determination of when to escalate issues
• Review designs from team members and provide constructive feedback
• Help present the team’s work to clients and explain to them why it’s so amazing

The skills you’ll need to pay the bills:

• Stellar oral and written communication
• A joy for tackling difficult problems
• Ability to manage multiple projects at once and accurately set and meet deadlines
• Comfort working autonomously, leading a project from start to finish, as well as working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team
• Proficiency working with software tools such as Asana, Trello, Jira, Slack, Excel, etc.
• Confidence articulating and pitching your ideas
• An appreciation for and understanding of how digital products are made
