About this role
Role Overview
- Build the network — recruit, vet, and onboard contributors and field agents across LATAM markets.
- Get out there — meet contributors, communities, and potential partners face to face; run in-market recruitment drives, onboarding sessions, and meetups.
- Manage implementation partners — source, onboard, and manage studios, agencies, and field firms to the same spec and quality bar as our own network.
- Run field agents — hire, brief, schedule, and supervise agents, including on-site oversight of collection days.
- Deliver projects end to end — own live data-collection projects from spec to accepted delivery: volume, quality, timeline, and budget.
- Protect quality — enforce spec adherence so submissions pass review the first time; feed rejection patterns back into training.
- Support the people doing the work — be the real-time support line for contributors in the field, and make sure everyone gets paid accurately and fast.
- Build the playbook — sourcing channels, partner pipeline, onboarding flows, and QC checklists that scale beyond you.
Requirements
- Experience managing distributed field teams, gig-economy contributors, or crowdsourced data-collection operations — ideally across multiple LATAM markets.
- Real field experience: you've run recruitment drives, trainings, site visits, or collection operations in person.
- Experience managing third-party vendors or partners against a spec and a deadline.
- Fluent Spanish and English; Portuguese strongly preferred.
- Willingness to travel regularly within the region, including short-notice trips.
- Operational discipline: real-time trackers, numbers-first updates, and the instinct to raise problems with a fix attached.
- Bias to action. We operate on output over effort, speed over perfection, and ownership over hierarchy.
Benefits
- Monthly rate plus reimbursed work travel
- Performance-based variable pay may be discussed after an initial three-month period
