Strong cross‑functional partnership skills. Comfortable collaborating day‑to‑day with Product and Engineering to shape scope, make tradeoffs, and deliver iteratively. A strong sense of ownership and initiative: you proactively spot friction, propose improvements, and follow through without needing heavy oversight.

A portfolio that shows end‑to‑end case studies, problem framing, exploration, decisions/tradeoffs, collaboration, and shipped outcomes (not just visuals).
