The Role
TechSphere seeks a detail-oriented Research Assistant to support our continued growth across Ames and beyond. Consider it a $89,000 - $120,000 foothold at TechSphere, where 5 years of Facilitation converts straight into general ownership.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
- Juggle generously-mentoring priorities without dropping the ones that matter
- Stitch together Facilitation and Work-Life Balance into one coherent workflow
- Write the Communication runbook the next hire wishes they had
- Make general tradeoffs visible so TechSphere can weigh them
- Pair Facilitation fluency with the patience to explain it plainly
What You'll Bring
- Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
- Equal parts Communication depth and Collaboration curiosity
- Hands-on Critical Thinking experience that survives a whiteboard interview
- The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
Anchored in Ames, IA, TechSphere designs the kind of client-centric systems that general teams quietly depend on every single day. We look out for one another, and burnout is treated as a problem to solve, not a badge to wear.
We pair a $89,000 - $120,000 salary with health, dental, and vision plans, plus annual bonuses tied to team performance.
Active as of this moment, the Ames, IA role accepts resumes daily.
We hire for hunger as much as resumes, so if that's you, the Research Assistant role is open.
