To achieve these goals, we’ll build on the assets, experience, capabilities, and relationships we’ve developed over 140 years to incubate and grow new business.  

Reputation Management, Impact and Analytics is a team within Chevron’s Corporate Affairs (Corporate Affairs includes communications, policy, government and public affairs, and stakeholder engagement) organization that is responsible for understanding how a broad ecosystem of stakeholders perceive Chevron and what perceptions mean for enterprise risk, engagement, and strategic choice.  We translate digital listening and discovery, qualitative and quantitative opinion research, and a deep understanding of stakeholder expectations into insights for functional, business and executive leaders.

• Ensure research produces predictive and diagnostic outputs (not just descriptive findings), including effect sizes, uncertainty, and scenario implications.

• Work with Senior Manager on reputation measurement governance. Responsible for templates that deliver more efficient intake, processing, or analysis.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and can thrive in an evolving industry landscape and organizational change.
• Demonstrated experience with quantitative operations and ensuring everything runs smoothly (workflows and timelines, survey QAs, programming checks, fieldwork performance), including rapid research execution and knows when to prioritize speed versus depth.
