About the role

The minute you join, you’ll feel it. Not just in the products we build, but in how we show up for each other. Our culture is rooted in integrity, empathy, and shared enthusiasm. We’re in this together, tackling big challenges with bold ideas and genuine care.

We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive. Whether you're building smarter solutions, supporting customers, or creating a space where everyone belongs, you’ll do meaningful work with Workmates who’ve got your back. In return, we’ll give you the trust to take risks, the tools to grow, the skills to develop and the support of a company invested in you for the long haul.

Responsibilities

  • SSOT orchestration — keeping the corporate narrative source of truth current, versioned, and free of stale or conflicting content

  • Operating cadence management — running the weekly team standup, coordinating the biweekly intake syncs, and keeping the monthly cross-cluster review on rails
  • Intake model administration — the standing sync structure, brief format, and defined path across PMK teams to incorporate narrative evolution into the SSOT

Qualifications

  • Proven ability to build and run operational cadences across cross-functional stakeholders without formal authority
  • Strong writing and synthesis skills — able to translate narrative shifts into a clear, actionable one-pager

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role).
