• Provide participant support, answer questions, and troubleshoot minor technical issues throughout the recording experience.
• Partner with the core team to share community feedback, track recruitment performance, improve the participant funnel, and adjust outreach strategies based on local results.

Requirements

• Fluency in English, with strong proficiency in Singlish and the ability to recognize and understand common Singapore English variations and code-switching patterns
