  • Build the VoC operating model with Product Operations including standardized feedback capture across touchpoints, intake workflows, tagging/taxonomy, tooling hygiene, and reporting that makes feedback easy to find and act on.
  • Align VoC insights with Product Marketing and GTM teams to inform positioning, release communications, and enablement—ensuring we reflect real customer language, needs, and objections.
  • Own NPS/CSAT customer survey programs defining design, sampling/cadence, governance, and translating results into clear drivers and prioritized actions by connecting quantitative trends with qualitative VoC themes and verbatims.
  • Lead customer marketing communications tied to VoC, product updates, and advocacy including customer communications (emails, newsletters, webinars), developing content briefs, coordinating speakers and messaging with Product Marketing, and measuring engagement to improve reach and relevance.
  • Plan and execute customer events that drive insight and advocacy (e.g., CAB in-person sessions, roundtables, user groups, conference meetups) in partnership with Product Marketing/Field Marketing—owning run-of-show, content inputs, post-event feedback capture, and stakeholder readouts.
  • Report on VoC trends and outcomes through recurring dashboards and stakeholder updates that highlight top themes, progress, decisions made, and impact.

  • People leadership experience (managing FTEs and/or internship programs), including hiring, coaching, and delivering clear performance feedback.
  • Experience planning and running customer-facing events and programs (virtual and in-person), including agenda design, speaker/stakeholder management, and capturing measurable outcomes (insights, references/advocacy, engagement).
  • Experience with customer marketing (emails/newsletters and webinar programming), including content planning, segmentation, and performance reporting.

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.
