Job description

Picture your first ninety days as a Research Assistant at TechSphere: real ownership, Creativity at the center, and a team in Surprise, AZ ready to back you. The thing worth noting is how much TechSphere trusts you here — $63,000 - $93,000, general ownership, and a long runway, all from 4 years in.

Key Responsibilities

• Own assigned projects from kickoff through final delivery
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across TechSphere to hit shared goals
• Own the boring middle of a project, not just the kickoff
• Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
• Spot the Surprise pattern in feedback before it becomes a complaint
• Translate fuzzy stakeholder asks into a crisp Emotional Intelligence plan
• Coordinate scheduling, resources, and logistics for assigned tasks
• Carry general knowledge that doesn't live in any wiki yet

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with a TechSphere pace that rarely sits still
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
• Roughly 3+ years operating in a similar Research Assistant position
• Comfort with temporary arrangements and the rhythms of a hands-dirty workplace
