CEOs everywhere are laser focused on results while their markets change faster and more dramatically. What was once run and grow the business, is now run, grow and adapt.
WorkBoard pioneered the Enterprise Results Management category. Our customers drive faster growth and competitive advantage with higher alignment, real time transparency, and sharper focus on the results that matter. Companies like Cisco, Microsoft, Juniper, Workday, 3M, Zuora, Anthem, Human, and many others use WorkBoard's platform, expert services, and professional certification programs to achieve their ambitious vision.
WorkBoard has built a clear lead in the space – it is the size of all the other OKR app providers combined, in large part because its founders and team members are experienced company builders focused on true, differentiated value for our customers WorkBoard is backed by top-tier venture investors including Andreessen Horowitz, GGV Capital, Workday Ventures, and Microsoft's M12 fund.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Are you passionate about creating a singularly memorable experience for people? In 2018, we launched a coach certification program around OKRs – and it's wildly popular today with over 2,500 certified coach grads and a vibrant community that is learning and growing together. We take extraordinary pride in the experience in and beyond the class setting – we enable and cheer on our coaches in myriad ways and build real relationships. The demand for this professional development program and additional ones is sky rocketing – we want to meet the demand while keeping the extraordinarily personal connections and ongoing relationships with our coaches.
To meet the demand, we've put the certification programs, community, content and other resources under one umbrella – the Results Foundry at WorkBoard – and are seeking an experience manager to build more amazing community relationships! The Foundry Experience Manager will:
- Build connection and enthusiasm with students before they attend programs
- Provide pre-reads and prep materials that ensure they're excited and ready to engage
- Provide and share post-course materials over time
- Get to know students in each program ahead of the course and continue the relationship well beyond it
- Coordinate engaging coach meet ups
- Enable grads to share their certification and enthusiasm on social channels and support newly certified peers
- Delight our coaches and students in consistent and creative ways
- When we return to physical program offerings, make the in person experience all that it can be (location, food and beverage, resources for attendees and other concierge level touches)
