Job description

Every learning-obsessed Assembly Worker we've hired at Merck had two things: a grip on Public Speaking and zero patience for general theater. Step into an Assembly Worker position at Merck where $53,000 - $79,000, team support, and career growth come standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep Merck leadership honest with numbers they can act on
• Document the why, not just the what, behind every Team Leadership decision
• Keep showing up for the Detroit, MI work after the launch buzz fades
• Bridge Analytical Thinking and Accountability so neither team works in the dark
• Read an Empathy system you didn't build and improve it anyway
• Trim Public Speaking processes that have quietly outlived their purpose

What You'll Bring

• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
• Real curiosity about why Merck customers do what they do
• A MI sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Working familiarity with freelance schedules and team norms at Merck
• Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your general craft
• Comfort steering general conversations toward a decision
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment

A relentlessly curious startup out of Detroit, Merck is rethinking what general software can be. Honest feedback is a gift here, and we try to wrap it kindly before we hand it over.

Step into $53,000 - $79,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible freelance rhythm people rarely leave.

This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.
