• Communicate and share often in written, verbal, and visual forms to create alignment and move the work towards implementation
• Collaborate regularly with engineers to ship high-quality experiences
• Contribute to both Automattic products and the larger open source and design communities

Qualifications

• A keenness for identifying user needs, defining clear solutions, and delivering those through detailed design
• The flexibility to design in low and high fidelity and choose the most efficient and responsible process for the job at hand
• The ability to integrate feedback, validate, and iterate on our products while being mindful of our customers, contributors, and insights gleaned by our support teams
• The ability to connect business strategies, available technologies, and design solutions to deliver best-in-class user experiences
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills — you’ll be collaborating with others and presenting your work regularly
• Proficiency in design and prototyping tools and familiarity with development
• A genuine interest and familiarity with some of our products and the open-source community
• Familiarity with remote work (or excitement to try it!)
