  • You're highly adaptable to new information, situations, or challenges and can work independently.
  • You like facing new challenges and thrive on opportunities to think creatively and come up with fresh approaches to tough business and operational problems.
  • You possess a 'Product Design' mindset, who owns the end-to-end design delivery: from strategy to validation of designs in process to establishing and collecting metrics.

Note: Experience in the educational field (as a designer, researcher, or teacher) is a plus.
