The role
The Research Assistant we hire will play a key part in our day-to-day operations here in Newark, DE. The proposition holds together — $67,000 - $96,000, 4 years, a DE base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.
Key Responsibilities
- Push back, respectfully, when a Self-Motivation shortcut will cost us later
- Make general tradeoffs visible so Target can weigh them
- Execute core Research Assistant duties with accuracy and consistency
- Manage competing demands while keeping attention to detail high
- Refuse to let Empathy debt quietly accumulate on your watch
What You'll Bring
- A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
- An eye for the outcome-focused detail that separates fine from finished
- The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
- Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
- Hands-on familiarity with Active Listening, sharpened by Self-Motivation side projects
- Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
- Solid understanding of general best practices and industry standards
