• Loves to learn and grow. They’ve found (and keep looking for) ways to level up their skills in this field, whether that’s through formal education, gaining professional experience, or maybe even building their own business

These things would also be nice, but we think you could learn them on the job: 

• Experience building or contributing to content guidelines and documentation

• Expertise in facilitating content critiques or workshops
• Feels at home in a Design culture of continuous feedback and critique, and sees feedback as a way to strengthen ideas and outcomes
