POSITION REQUIREMENTS

We help organizations thrive in a world of change and disruption. We are looking for an associate to join our content team in designing material to help individuals and teams perform at their best. A successful candidate will be comfortable quickly learning new skills and subjects, have a background in business and social science, and possess writing and research experience.

The key activities for the role are:
  • Researching topics in psychology and business related to team and individual performance, and communicating advice in a way that is clear and engaging
  • Writing content designed to help people adapt their mindsets to succeed in a volatile business environment
  • Developing interactive training workshops on leadership, coaching, and teamwork
  • Producing slide presentations that use statistics, charts, graphs, and figures to convey ideas
  • Creating surveys to measure performance, skills, and personality—and provide insightful advice based on the results
  • Assisting with audio/visual content, social media posts, and marketing materials
We need people who are great communicators, team players, and innovative thinkers, all rolled into one. You should apply if:
  • You are highly organized and enjoy working both independently and collaboratively
  • You are naturally curious, a quick learner, and have an ability to critically examine arguments and social scientific claims
  • You are a creative problem solver and have strong analytical skills
  • You possess both creative writing talent—you can tell a good story—and the ability to say a lot with few words
  • You enjoy editing others’ writing, too
  • You are passionate about well-being at the level of the individual, group, and organization

WHAT WE DO

  • Care deeply about our purpose
  • Continuously improve ourselves and our company
  • Push our thinking and challenge the status quo
  • Collaborate constantly and value all contributions
  • Foster creative thinking
  • Incentivize employee growth
  • Promote openness and respect
  • Nourish a friendly and supportive environment

YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE US WITH A FEW THINGS

  • Your CV or resume, emphasizing pertinent experience; include GPA and any recent standardized test scores
  • Samples of your writing, both academic and general-audience (e.g., news articles, blog posts, fiction)
  • [Optional] If you have a video, podcast, or presentation that showcases your communication skills, you can share the link
