  • Experience with industry-standard asset management tools.
  • Ability to inspire and bring out talent in others.
  • Classic drawing or painting techniques with the ability to sketch out ideas on paper.
  • Good sense of spatial composition and proportions.
  • Understanding of basic architecture.
  • Self-driven and a great team player.
  • Excellent organizational, time management, and communication skills.
  • Work ethic focused on agility, dynamism, and collaboration.
  • Ability to perform multiple tasks, set priorities.
  • Outstanding problem solving abilities and capable of developing or optimizing new or existing pipelines.
  • Must be a team player and willing to incorporate ideas from other team members.
  • Attention to detail.
