8. A commitment to exceeding client expectations, fostering satisfaction and loyalty.

11. An excellent understanding of traffic and conversion measurement, experience with interpreting such data and deriving insight.
12. Seasoned at producing in-depth reviews and reporting on business KPIs.
13. Significant experience in effectively managing your own workload.
