Sarah I understand your point, but the required qualification just above the non-English states : "Exceptional English writing is critical for this role, including the ability to write time-sensitive, efficient, compelling, and clearly understandable communications products for a wide range of audiences."

To me personally, I cannot see a person for whom English is not a first language being able to pass that requirement at all.  Many second-language learners can communicate in English, but I can count on one hand people I've met who can communicate in a way which is compelling.  And those who can are more-than-likely not going to be available for a position like this.  Sorry to say.

So it still sounds to me like the requirements include English as a first language, and also fluent in a second language.
