## Description

Supports Collective Residential's M&A/enablement team by executing AI-assisted research on prospective partner contacts and accounts, then applying independent judgment to validate the accuracy of that AI output before updating Salesforce.

### Job Overview:

-   This is an hourly, project-based opportunity that should last at least 6 months.
-   Payments are in USD and biweekly.
-   Completely flexible schedule. No requirement to overlap with U.S. business hours.

### Responsibilities

-   Run research on target contacts/accounts using provided AI tools (e.g., Claude)
-   Critically review AI-generated output for accuracy, completeness, and plausibility — this is a judgment role, not a copy/paste role
-   Identify when AI output is incomplete, inaccurate, or needs additional verification, and know how to close that gap
-   Update and maintain clean, accurate contact/account records in Salesforce (CRM/Sales side)
-   Apply understanding of Collective Residential's business model and target profile (property management company owners/decision-makers) to judge whether a contact/account is correctly identified
-   Flag ambiguous or low-confidence findings to the enablement team rather than guessing
-   Maintain confidentiality of all company and prospect data per NDA

## Requirements

-   Hands-on experience using Salesforce as an end user on the CRM/Sales side (not admin, not case/support management)
-   Strong English reading comprehension and written communication
-   Demonstrated independent judgment — able to spot when information looks wrong or incomplete
-   Comfort working with AI research tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
-   High attention to detail and consistency across repetitive research tasks
-   Reliable internet and own equipment

**Nice-to-have**

-   Prior research, lead-gen, sales ops, or CRM data-hygiene experience
-   Familiarity with U.S. real estate, property management, or B2B SaaS
