Job description

About the Role

Moderators run our in-person data collection sessions. You'll set up the recording equipment, walk participants through their tasks, keep the session on track, and make sure the data we capture is clean and usable. It's part technical, part people. The best moderators are the ones who can troubleshoot a camera rig and put a nervous first-time participant at ease in the same five minutes.

• Location: Columbus, OH (Discovery District), 100% onsite
• Type: Part time, hourly
• Pay: $18 to $25 per hour

What You'll Do

• Lead group and individual data collection sessions from start to finish
• Set up, operate, and troubleshoot recording equipment: cameras, microphones, sensors, and session software
• Give clear instructions, answer participant questions, and keep sessions moving on schedule
• Monitor recordings in real time and catch quality issues before they become re-shoots
• Flag equipment or process problems to the shift Team Lead
• Reset the studio between sessions

What You Bring

• Hands-on experience with technical setup of some kind. We've had great moderators come from audio engineering, IT support, photography, videography, AV and live events, and robotics or equipment operation
• Comfort speaking in front of a group and directing a room. This is non-negotiable; moderators lead sessions, not just run gear
• Patience and clarity when explaining instructions to people with zero technical background
• Attention to detail. Small setup mistakes ruin whole sessions
• Availability for part-time shifts during active project periods, including some evenings and weekends

Why This Role

You’ll work with interesting capture technology, build real facilitation experience, and see exactly how the data behind modern AI gets created. Flexible part-time scheduling around active projects.

HumanSignal is an equal opportunity employer. Final pay within the posted range is based on experience and equipment scope.
