At the same time, they need to eagerly hear differing opinions and sometimes be proven wrong, constantly evaluate tradeoffs and alternate routes to success, and walk through fire to help out other members of the team.
Ultimately, the person in this role will be responsible for translating our company and customer needs into functional and appealing interactive applications and ensuring great user experience. This person must be curious about new digital technologies and aspire to combine usability with visual design.
