Description:

You love words and language, and have strong feelings about style, grammar, tone, and voice. You enjoy learning about common grammar mistakes, and have probably gotten into a heated discussion about serial commas or misplaced apostrophes.



The only thing that rivals your passion for language is your passion for great user experiences. Bad user interface sticks out like a sore thumb to you, and you find yourself brainstorming better experiences for products you use. You’re an advocate for clean, beautiful UI, and you champion writing and design that supports both the content and the user.



You’re familiar with Apple products, and are a regular user of iTunes, the App Store, and the iBooks Store. You’re a music and media enthusiast, and love keeping up with pop culture.



You enjoy working through the details of complex problems, love logic puzzles, and relish the challenge of untying impossible knots.You’re good at following a process, but flexible enough to recognize when you just need to get the job done regardless of process. You enjoy being in the thick of things, handling multiple projects and tasks at once, and know how to effectively manage your time and prioritize your projects. You are good at identifying what information is needed to do your job, and are not shy about reaching out to people you don’t know yet to get the answers. You take initiative and feel a strong sense of ownership, not just for your deliverables, but for the quality of the entire product.



You play well with others, and love being part of a team. You enjoy working with both introverts and strong personalities, technical and detail-oriented people as well as big thinkers and creative types. The thought of establishing working relationships with executives, marketers, producers, engineers, designers, project managers, and other cross functional teams—and helping consolidate their differing feedback to create stunning and professional features and products—excites and motivates you.

Education:

BA or higher
