• Know and/or continue to learn the art and science of making content that doesn't just perform but converts into leads, sales, and revenue

• Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects + Photoshop a plus)

• Familiarity with the metrics that drive performance (watch time, CTR, conversion rate) and a portfolio or reel that shows it

• An ownership mindset and a growth mindset: you follow through on results, test relentlessly, and keep leveling up your craft
