About the Role:

As a Sr. Taxonomy Specialist, you’ll play a key role in leading and guiding our product-wide taxonomy. You’ll work across groups to bring together various viewpoints and drive alignment, build consensus, and provide overall governance.  

In this new-to-the-company role, you’ll be part of the global product organization and collaborate with our product managers, designers, engineers, tech writers, customer support, data specialists, and learning management. You’ll establish best practices, create decision making frameworks, and procure tooling for our taxonomy. 

This role sits within our product design org, but will interface with groups across the company. 

About CrowdStrike Design:

CrowdStrike believes the product designer is an equal partner with product management and engineering leads. This means designers own the user experience solution for any project. We look for full stack designers and managers who can bring leadership from the conception phase through the final rollout. Having strong team leaders to guide and support the design teams through the process is key to success. Design at CrowdStrike drives innovation, inspiration, and the future of the product.

• Advocate for shared taxonomies and metadata models across organizations, tooling, products, and teams

• Engage with customers to understand their experiences when it comes to our taxonomies, tagging, and labeling
