About The Role

If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative. Cliche or not, Olgivy’s words still ring true today. You probably know them well and we’re preaching to the choir. As our next Lead Writer, you’ll marry universal human truths to our brand promise and product vision, and shepherd a brand that has customers, and soon-to-be’s, falling head-over-heels for us. You’ll be obsessed with uncovering the truth about our customers—the pain they struggle with and the joy that comes when a piece of software they found helps them win at their job. You don’t shy from imagination and often seek the elusive answer to “Wouldn’t it be cool if…”. You embrace others around you who endeavor to do the  same, in the pursuit of our goals, inspiring and pushing others (yourself too) along the way. You’ll partner with designers, developers, marketers and more to fashion the growth of G2’s brand and demand gen engine, elevating our vision to be “The place you go for software”. You’re key to unraveling our stakeholders’ challenges across nearly every prospect and customer touchpoint—from events, brand strategy and documentation, to campaigns, to amazing employee success projects that enhance the employee experience, you’ll have your hands full and elbows deep in rich, impactful work.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305

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.
