  • Provide ecosystem and customer insight to influence Product Management and Product Strategy decisions. 
  • Anticipate market shifts and ensure alliance strategies remain relevant as customer expectations and buying patterns evolve. 

Data Resilience, AI & DSPM Context 

At this level, the Channel CTO is expected to demonstrate strong command of data resilience strategy and solid AI literacy as it applies to enterprise ecosystems and GTM execution. 

This includes understanding:

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
