  • Ability to uphold a quality bar and provide specific, supportive editorial feedback.
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to oversee multiple modules simultaneously.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills, translating learning goals into design briefs and design constraints into pedagogical decisions.
  • Comfort using frontier AI models and understanding their limitations.
