• You need to be open to discussion, no one is right 100% of the time.

• You need to be a good problem solver, thinking on your feet to squash issues is a big part of the job.

• You need to be understanding that users of all varieties exist, with different needs and wants.

• You need to be able to prioritise. It would be great to add everything that's asked for, but it can't be added at once.
