  • Help evangelize Content Design as a craft by leading through example, educating our partners on content best practices, and participating in content reviews.  
  • Develop and lead methods for helping other designers and writers improve their writing, including coordinating training, workshops, forums, and other events.  
  • Collaborate with partners across design, product content, product management, and developer teams.  
  • Solicit, synthesize, and execute feedback from partners and stakeholders.
