Full Description

About Ping Identity: At Ping Identity, we believe in making digital experiences both secure and seamless for all users, without compromise. We call this digital freedom. And it's not just something we provide our customers. It's something that inspires our company. People don't come here to join a culture that's built on digital freedom. They come to cultivate it. Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear. While protecting digital identities is at the core of our technology, protecting individual identities is at the core of our culture. We champion every identity. One of our core values, Respect Individuality, reminds us to celebrate differences so you are empowered to bring your authentic self to work. We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we have offices and employees around the globe. We serve the largest, most demanding enterprises worldwide, including more than half of the Fortune 100. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.

Collaborate with Delivery Operations to conduct qualitative interviews and analysis to determine job impact, ROI, and areas for course design adjustments. Ensure feedback is systematically assigned to relevant courses and changes are tracked and implemented effectively. Project & Cross-Functional Work Initiate, own, and manage all leaner improvement initiatives to enhance engagement, retention, NPS, and learner satisfaction. Collaborate closely with Delivery Operations, Sales, and the PMO to design and deliver projects that directly contribute to increased bookings and revenue (e.g., learner job aids, one-pagers, supplementary resources). Work closely with the Senior Manager of Curriculum Development to create projects and initiatives that align customer training, product, and documentation teams, minimizing duplication and promoting collaboration. Manage multiple projects with accountability for scoping documents, SME interviews, milestones, and stakeholder communication.
