Compliance research & Data support Specialist

About the Project We are hiring multiple contractors for a focused operational project supporting a national compliance and licensing team. Our company operates events across multiple U.S. jurisdictions. The Compliance team is working through a high volume of upcoming markets to ensure location, licensing, jurisdictional, and regulatory information is researched, documented, and organized far enough in advance to support downstream Marketing and operational deadlines. This is a research and data-support position, not a legal-advice role. You will work from established processes, templates, and assigned market/show lists. Accuracy, documentation, and the ability to follow detailed instructions are extremely important. What You'll Do Depending on assignment, contractors may: Research state, county, and municipal requirements using official government sources. Identify the correct municipality and governing jurisdiction for physical addresses. Locate business licensing, permit, registration, zoning, police reporting, and other regulatory information. Locate official applications, forms, ordinances, agency webpages, and contact information. Verify venue/address information for assigned markets. Organize and enter research into established spreadsheets or project-management systems. Review existing records for missing or incomplete information. Update standardized fields according to provided instructions. Document the authoritative source used for each research finding. Flag conflicting, unclear, or unusual requirements for review by the Compliance team. Assist with high-volume data cleanup and validation. Complete assigned research within established deadlines. What You Will NOT Be Expected to Do You will not be expected to: Provide legal opinions. Independently interpret ambiguous laws or ordinances. Make final compliance determinations. Decide whether a location or event is legally approved to operate. Contact government agencies unless specifically assigned and authorized. When something is unclear, your job is to document what you found, provide the source, and escalate the question rather than guess.

Ability to follow detailed written procedures. Ability to distinguish reliable/official sources from secondary information. Strong written communication. Ability to work independently in a fast-paced remote environment. Comfort managing repetitive research while maintaining accuracy. Ability to clearly document where information came from.

Contractors who demonstrate strong accuracy, reliability, and judgment may be given increasingly complex assignments. What Success Looks Like We value accuracy and traceability over guessing or simply completing a large number of records. A successful contractor will: Complete assigned work on schedule. Follow the established research process consistently. Use authoritative sources whenever available. Enter information accurately and in the required format. Preserve source links/evidence. Recognize when information is unclear. Escalate exceptions rather than making unsupported assumptions. Communicate quickly when blocked. When Applying Please briefly answer the following: Tell us about a project where you had to research information from multiple websites or sources and organize the results into structured data. What sources would you consider most reliable when researching a city's business licensing requirements? If two government sources appear to give conflicting information, what would you do? What is your experience with Google Sheets, Excel, Monday.com, Salesforce, or similar systems? What is your current weekly availability? Are you available to begin immediately?
