The reimagined VMware Careers Site launched on February 6, 2023, as part of the Candidate Experience initiative within Talent Acquisition.
The new and improved site boasts an accessible-first design, 55 new content pages, improved site navigation, and English, Japanese, and Chinese versions. Highlights of the refreshed site include a more inclusive design, information on how VMware’s latest products and solutions are enabling businesses to be digitally smart, interview tips for job seekers, VMware team overviews, and an update on the company’s VMware 2030 agenda — a decade long commitment to building a more sustainable, equitable and secure world.
This was a significant achievement where I led more than 50 people to come together to contribute to talent market research, accessibility audits, development, testing, and communications.

The three major achievements of this project included:
Creating a more accessible experience was one of the most important goals of the career site refresh project. We’re proud to say that the VMware careers site meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
Up-to-date, practical, and rich content is so valuable for our site visitors. Threaded throughout the English, Japanese, and Chinese versions are a wide range of new and updated pages.
Oversaw a three-part research phase of the project to gain these insights. The phases included an employee survey to capture site likes and dislikes, ease of use, ideas, and proposed changes, analytics from Google Analytics, Google Search Console, in-page insights, and iCIMS analytics to measure user behavior across the site and partnered with a diverse group of employees from the Brand, ESG (Environmental, Sustainability, & Governance), DEI Center of Excellence, Accessibility, and Talent Acquisition teams to curate content for and audit the site before it went live.
