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

Recognized for our quality-obsessed work in general, Target continues to grow its presence across DE. Feedback flows in every direction at Target, from the newest hire to the people signing the $67,000 - $96,000 checks.

You will grow fastest here, with $67,000 - $96,000, a mentor, benefits, and flexible Newark, DE hours clearing the runway in front of you.

Nothing stale here: the Research Assistant slot was re-confirmed open earlier today.
