Job description:

We're hiring a Data Operations Intern to help us recruit, onboard, manage, and support contributors across active data collection projects. This is a hands-on role for someone who is organized, fast, and comfortable working across people, databases, tools, and messy operational details.

**What You'll Do**

* Recruit and onboard contributors across different languages, countries, and communities
* Help manage active data collection projects, including audio recording and transcription workflows
* Track contributor progress, quality, payments, and project completion targets
* Communicate with contributors daily to answer questions, resolve issues, and keep projects moving
* Find creative channels for sourcing contributors, including communities, referrals, job boards, and local groups
* Review operational data to identify bottlenecks, inactive contributors, quality issues, and languages that need more supply
* Help design and run incentive programs, referral campaigns, and deadline-based bonuses
* Build lightweight processes, trackers, and playbooks so successful workflows can be repeated

**You Might Be a Fit If You**

* Are highly organized and can keep track of many moving pieces at once
* Respond quickly and communicate clearly
* Are comfortable doing hands-on operational work, including repetitive tasks when needed
* Like working with people and can manage contributors professionally
* Care about quality and can spot when something is off

**Bonus Points**

* Experience recruiting, managing, or growing communities
* Experience with data labeling, transcription, audio, linguistics, research, or marketplace operations
* Ability to use AI coding tools to automate workflows
* Experience running ads, referral programs, campus outreach, or gig-worker recruiting

This is a practical operations role. You'll work directly on real client projects, help scale contributor supply, and learn how high-quality data collection systems are built from the ground up.
