This is a remote, flexible opportunity with defined working hours, reporting expectations and measurable outcomes. This opportunity is especially suitable for experienced professionals returning after a career break, seeking remote work, flexible engagement, or an additional professional assignment.

Selected professionals will work through a 2–4 week performance window to demonstrate capability. We are looking for people who can consistently produce: Clean Data → Accurate Research → Positive Employer Leads → Signed MSAs.

If you deliver, you stay and grow with the program. If you do not meet the required performance standards, the engagement ends after the evaluation period.

• You must maintain strong data hygiene. Duplicate records, invalid contacts, repeated outreach and unverified emails are not acceptable.
• You should also be comfortable using ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and similar tools to improve research quality, speed and accuracy.
• We measure accuracy, clean data, positive responses, reporting discipline and business outcomes, not just rows added or emails sent.

Career gaps are welcome. Flexibility is welcome. Poor execution is not.
