Research Associate - AI Validation (Project-based)
Collective Residential · 1 day ago
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
-
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
