About You

You’re not just looking for a job — you’re looking for a place to do your best work. You bring:

• A community mindset — You see customers as partners and coworkers as collaborators. You lift others up, always follow through on your commitments, and thrive in a team that does the same. (Community First)

• Experience partnering with cross-functional leaders to translate strategic priorities into actionable roadmaps and navigating change management
• Comfort operating with ambiguity, with a focus on iterative execution, clear communication, and the judgment to separate practical value from hype
• Comfort working independently and asynchronously, while also prioritizing collaboration and connection with people
• Experience (or excitement for) working with AI
• Bonus: Experience leading internal communities of practice, change champions, or multi-department enablement programs
