$23-25 Hourly
Start Date:
Mar 2, 2026
We are looking for a motivated, tech-savvy individual to capture real-time data on how modern workplaces actually function. If you are agile, observant, and love a role that keeps you moving, this is for you.
The Role: What You’ll Be Doing
- As an Observation Specialist, you will navigate corporate environments to log behavioral and environmental data.
- Data Collection: Use a provided iPad to record observations (noise levels, lighting, meeting engagement, and social vs. focused behaviors) using a streamlined interface of dropdowns and checkboxes.
- Campus Navigation: Move efficiently between different floors and buildings to meet scheduled observation windows.
- Situational Awareness: Exhibit high emotional intelligence by knowing when to observe and when to step back (e.g., never interrupting a private phone call or a closed-door meeting).
What We Are Looking For
- We value potential and personality over a long resume. If you are bright, tech-curious, and reliable, we want to talk to you. Students with a background in sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc. please apply!
- Tech-Savvy: You must be a “quick study” with mobile interfaces. You should be comfortable navigating an iPad UI fluently and entering data rapidly without a steep learning curve.
- Professional Intuition: You have the “soft skills” to blend into a professional corporate environment.
