Dear Hiring Manager,
Equipped with Agile Product Owner and ScrumMaster certifications, I have more than 15 years of experience in project management, UX and content management. As a member of the Digital Communications and Social Media team at The Coca-Cola Company, I led product management, web design/UX and market engagement for its largest digital property, coca-colacompany.com. Part of the team that transformed the company’s digital communications strategy to brand storytelling, I wrote and edited articles, blogs and teaser copy and published content using various content management systems, including AEM.
Due to my success in launching quality digital experiences and delivering several design and platform upgrades and CMS migrations, I was named Product Owner of Coca-Cola’s first Agile digital project, where I owned, refined and prioritized the backlog of front-end and back-end user requirements and launched and published local language microsites.
My sweet spot lies in effectively bridging communications between non-technical business stakeholders and technical teams, both in person and in a virtual environment -- collaborating closely with corporate IT organizations, business teams, agencies, designers and developers to execute digital solutions across a global platform. I thrive on continual learning and innovation and flourish in a dynamic environment. Juggling conflicting demands and meeting critical deadlines, while effectively assessing and balancing business requirements against enterprise goals, is my expertise.
At Coca-Cola, I partnered with key corporate stakeholders and local brand journalism teams in 108 countries where I led the growth of international market adoption of the company’s most transformative digital property by 88%. I was well-regarded for my motivation and work ethic, attention to detail, and for instilling commitment, trust and loyalty in teams. I engaged with senior management and communications teams across the globe to design and launch digital experiences to promote the company’s corporate reputation, led content migrations and platform upgrades, and trained the market teams on the company’s brand journalism strategy and how to use new content management tools, including Adobe AEM.
I also have hands-on experience at the agency level. As Publishing Director at Perfect Sense, Inc., I quickly mastered the company’s proprietary content management system and was commended for my expertise in CMS publishing, content strategy, user experience and client training. My role there focused on managing relationships and projects with our biggest clients – Amazon and Johnson & Johnson – to ensure their requirements for best in class products and user experiences and services were met. I worked closely with Perfect Sense’s platform product team to provide strategic input to and test new CMS functionality and UI/UX, and also wrote, copyedited and optimized traffic-driving content for the agency’s owned sites.
I look forward to speaking with you soon to learn where my unique blend of communications and digital product management skills can help drive success at your company.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Janice J. Schneider
