It’s quite possible that today you might be optimizing GTM pages and the next day you might be working on our corporate cards. The nature of the work is quite vast and challenging. You’re someone who believes in prioritizing craftsmanship over just getting it done, caring deeply about users' needs over building something generic and getting the last detail right over hovering on the surface.
