  6. Strong use of UI and product workflow tools (Figma, Notion, Airtable, etc.).
  7. Experience designing and implementing modular infrastructures that supported multiple teams and products.
  8. A track record of defining major workstreams, setting clear success measures, and driving execution.

Even Better
