  • Partner on Monetization Strategy: Collaborate with Product and Finance to shape pricing, packaging, and usage-based models for AI-driven features—aligning product adoption with sustainable unit economics.
  • Advance Data Foundations: Oversee data engineering pipelines, ETL processes, and data warehousing strategies that fuel model accuracy, feature reliability, and analytics scalability.
  • Collaborate with Nonprofit Experts: Work closely with internal nonprofit domain experts and customers to ensure AI features solve real-world challenges and deliver measurable mission impact.
  • Ensure Ethical & Secure AI Practices: Champion responsible AI principles that protect customer data, mitigate bias, and ensure transparency in AI-powered decisions and recommendations.
  • Scale a High-Performing Team: Recruit, mentor, and develop a team of engineers and applied AI practitioners, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and velocity.
  • Innovate with Modern Tools: Embed tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and internal AI development environments to accelerate productivity and enable experimentation.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with the Director of Data, Product Management, and VP of Engineering peers to align AI initiatives with overall platform modernization and customer experience goals.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
