6. Communicate and collaborate with partner teams
7. Provide solutions that demonstrate knowledge of the capabilities and constraints of the technology stack
8. Leverage high judgement to make trade-offs between shopper and seller needs without losing focus on either
9. Work with UXR and partner teams to identify and aggregate disparate qualitative and quantitative data to inform design solutions at the product level
10. Find the best way forward and influence others to follow that path (build consensus) or escalate appropriately
11. Contribute to the professional development of colleagues via mentorship, reviews, and leadership
