  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, balancing competing priorities, and managing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Demonstrated experience incorporating AI tools into day-to-day workflows to improve efficiency, organization, and execution.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to synthesize complex information and confidently engage stakeholders at all levels.
  • Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools such as Asana, Airtable, or similar platforms.

Form CC-305

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.
