  • Help coordinate team meetings, call agendas, team notes, and administrative support for special events and/or conferences  
  • Contribute to ongoing PN Digital thought leadership, including trends reports and updates on the latest and greatest platform and industry news (e.g., platform updates, industry regulations, artificial intelligence) 
  • Participate in office, agency, and team-wide initiatives, including professional development, new business, and brainstorm sessions  

 

The experience that will contribute to your success:

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.
