Job Description
At Disney, we’re storytellers. We make the impossible, possible. The Walt Disney Company is a world-class entertainment and technological leader. Walt’s passion was to continuously envision new ways to move audiences around the world—a passion that remains our touchstone in an enterprise that stretches from theme parks, resorts and a cruise line to sports, news, movies and a variety of other businesses. Uniting each endeavor is a commitment to creating and delivering unforgettable experiences — and we’re constantly looking for new ways to enhance these exciting experiences.
The Enterprise Technology mission is to deliver technology solutions that align to business strategies while enabling enterprise efficiency and promoting cross-company collaborative innovation. The Enterprise Technology organization drives competitive advantage by enhancing our consumer experiences, enabling business growth, and advancing operational excellence.
This role is part of the Workforce Enablement (WE) organization. Our mission is to enable the digital employee in their day to day work through efficient delivery and integration of common and secure platforms, products and devices that provide them with an experience that supports responsible and efficient collaboration and communication with partners.
We work with cast members, employees, and partners across all of Disney (including Parks and Resorts, DTCI, ESPN, ABC, International and Walt Disney Studios) and around the world, and with many different collaboration software applications, so our days are varied. You might spend the morning interviewing a Studios employee on how they use a new mobile application and then writing a Tips document for a collaboration platform, with an afternoon workshop for a Parks and Resorts team onboarding onto a new technology. You’ll enjoy a mix of daily and weekly tasks, small and large projects, and many opportunities to suggest and implement projects, too.
We believe a successful customer is one who is supported, empowered and engaged on their journey towards their unique goal. While our larger organization provides the tools to help employees get their jobs done, we provide the guidance and build the relationships to help employees transition to new tools and get the most out of them. Experience using and managing a wide variety of enterprise tools – like Office 365, G Suite, Yammer, Slack, Jive, and BlueJeans – is required so you can learn the company and use cases, rather than the tools, when you join the team.
Responsibilities : Who you are
You have outstanding writing skills, but just as importantly, you love working with people. You can partner with a technologist and understand their technical jargon, but also put yourself in an end user’s shoes and write for their understanding. You have a gift for injecting friendliness and even excitement into topics other writers would consider dry or boring, and you’re passionate about helping others learn new things. You’re good at building relationships with others, and want to help them anyway you can: whether that’s writing an article, conducting an interview to understand them better, or building a communications campaign to reach people where they are.
