• You’re digital first.
• Your currency is ideas.
• Your work is conceptually clear and visually stunning.
• You’re a beloved leader of designers and interns. You attract fantastic people and inspire them to do the best work of their careers.
• You love working with clients, and clients love you right back.
• You can take what is sometimes only an imperceptible hint of an idea, and with your team nudge and wrench it into beautiful existence.
• You’ve got a grasp on the technology your designs are built on, and you work well with the developers and producers who make it happen.
• You’ve spent at least ten happy years at an agency, a startup, a pirate ship, or a similar organization.
• You know all about design and the tools to make design, but you get that design is really about people.
• You understand our company culture and values, and you help us maintain them. But you’re also not afraid to let our CEO know when he’s being an idiot.
• You help your colleagues grow and become better versions of themselves.
• You’re a punk who always shows up on time.
