• You know how to drive differentiation through thought leadership and data-driven storytelling
• You have an impeccable eye for detail and ability to approach tasks with a journalistic attitude to find the angles and stories that matter
• You have a good understanding of what it means to write for digital channels: blending user experience and channel best practices, and how they fit into the bigger picture of content marketing
• You have the ability to self-start, stick to deadlines, and drive projects forward – while being open and comfortable to iteration and feedback
• You have full professional proficiency (written and verbal) in English
