- Coordinate the end-to-end participant recruitment process for remote and in-person research activities, manage budgets and oversee an in-house participant database to track participation and manage communications.
- Develop guidelines and processes for accessibility and inclusive research, community, and ethical use of data and insights.
- Ensure our recruitment and data storage processes are compliant with Legal and Data Privacy (GDPR) for every region we operate in.
To be successful in this role, ideally, you have:
