Requirements

• Strong attention to detail—our work relies on the accuracy of your research! • Excellent time management and personal organization that allows you to meet deadlines. • Skill in communicating clearly and proactively as needed (e.g., if you are unsure about something or need an extension). • Comfort navigating ambiguity (e.g., if finding the details about a local office requires you to go down a rabbit hole of creative research methods, which is not unheard of, you’re ready and able to dive in). • ## Highly skilled researchers in this role may be expected to assist with: • Experimenting with novel data collection processes and working with developers to give feedback on new internal data tools. • Problem-solving a pain point in existing research processes with your teammates. • Assisting full-time and part-time employees on the Research team with the creation of training materials. • Mentoring new researchers and helping them become more efficient.
