About 60 Decibels:

60 Decibels (60dB) is a global, tech-enabled impact measurement company that brings speed and repeatability to social impact measurement and customer insights. We provide genuine benchmarks of impact performance, enabling organizations to understand impact relative to peers and set performance targets.

We collect this data through phone surveys (CATI) conducted by our global research network, made up of more than 1700 Research Assistants across 80+ countries.

About the role:

As a CATI Research Assistant (also referred to as Market Research Telephone Interviewer) for 60 Decibels, your primary responsibility will be to conduct phone surveys with customers and/or beneficiaries of our clients' products and services (respondents). You will work closely with our Research Project Teams to ensure we deliver high-quality customer insights while abiding by all data integrity and governance protocols.

This position is fully remote, and contracts are typically based on achieving daily completed survey targets. Some projects may involve calling respondents in other time zones, which could require flexible or non-standard hours (specific timing shared at project onboarding).

- Prior customer service, BPO, or call center experience is desirable.
- Prior social sector experience is a huge bonus.
- Multilingual ability (English plus Hindi or other regional languages) is a plus for projects involving Indian respondents.

- Attain daily survey targets within specified timeframes and promptly report any obstacles to the Project Team.
- Enter the data received from phone surveys into the 60dB platform (in English) accurately, completely, consistently, and reliably — this data must be entered in the exact way the respondent says it, not paraphrased or summarized.
- Proactively communicate project progress updates and raise any queries or concerns with the 60dB team.
- Review and address quality check feedback provided by your Project Team within the agreed timeline, providing regular status updates.
- Uphold data privacy and integrity by strictly adhering to 60dB procedures, avoiding data falsification or recording inexistent/inaccurate data.

Requirements:

- Attention to detail: you're meticulous and will ensure the accurate recording of respondents' answers without any errors or omissions.

- Work readiness: you have access to a stable phone, laptop, or computer, along with a reliable internet connection and a quiet work environment.
- Tech know-how: knowledge or proficiency in using data collection applications (e.g., CATI software, survey platforms) is a plus!
