  • A keen enthusiasm for and demonstrable understanding of Web trends and technologies
  • Exceptional writing skills, including the ability to write in a range of voices and styles for varied projects with diverse audiences
  • An ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously and effectively juggle diverse writing demands
