4. Conduct content audits and contribute to content style guides, tone guidelines, and taxonomy systems.
5. Apply inclusive design and accessibility principles to all written materials.

3. Experience working with designers and engineers in agile environments.
4. Passion for helping learners succeed, particularly in STEM disciplines.
5. Comfort navigating ambiguity and working autonomously.

Nice to Have
