Optional responsibilities / Assignments
Budget/Compensation manager
We are the trusted facilitators of some of the most sensitive data we have within the organization... the budget and salaries. Our goal is fair, consistent, responsible, and equitable decisions regarding budget management.
Business intelligence analyst
We are obsessed with the intersection between product usage metrics (such as weekly active usage) and business metrics (such as renewal cycles). Our prime objective is to identify quantitative evidence that will help CX, services, support, and product make better decisions about how each of them serves our customers
Company-level DBW initiative member
We engage in meaningful conversations on ways to help the Lessonly organization do better work.
Discovery Manager
We are the ones that bring organization and clarity to the Discovery process.
Escalation mitigator
We have a robust understanding of the current state of escalations and prioritize the best ways to reduce them.
Hiring manager
Bringing new folks into our tribe is one of the most important activities any of us will do. We ensure a good candidate experience, a great interviewer experience, and ultimately a talent/opportunity fit we are excited about.
Interviewer
Growing the team is one of the most important things we do... and we interviewers are responsible for helping to decide on our future teammates.
Onboarding buddy
We provide context through communication boosting productivity leading to new llama satisfaction.
P&E DBW group member
We engage in meaningful conversations on ways to help the Product and Engineering team do better work
Product engagement analyst
We are obsessed with product usage metrics because they are the leading indicators of how successful our squad, software, and the company are.
We believe the influence of data is critical in nearly all decisions, from how successful a feature is... how successful a campaign is... how successful a type of customer is … how successful a launch is.
Recruiter
Our sole goal is to help fill the top of the funnel with "Hell Yeah" candidates
Solution Designer (UX design)
We create, prototype, test, and iterate concepts in collaboration with the entire squad in pursuit of desirable, viable, feasible, and usable solutions
