  • Stakeholder Management: Facilitate clear and consistent communication with both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that everyone involved in partnership initiatives has a shared understanding of product objectives, timelines, and progress. Proactively manage expectations and resolve any roadblocks or conflicts that arise.
  • Roadmap Ownership & Execution: Own the product roadmap for partnership-driven projects, ensuring it is continuously updated based on new insights, business priorities, and market feedback. Drive execution from ideation through to delivery, ensuring that products meet quality standards and are delivered on time.
  • Continuous Improvement & Feedback Loops: Establish processes for continuous feedback from internal teams and partners, incorporating learnings into product iterations and future roadmap planning. Ensure that product features are optimized based on usage data, feedback, and evolving partner needs.

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.
