Some things we think are important in the role: being craft-obsessed conceptual thinker with extensive production experience. Being strategically smart and aesthetically free. Always curious, always dialing, always pushing. Excited to work in any and all media. Ours is a collaborative group, but not one where people hand things off, so pride and ownership over your work is important, too.
