We’re looking for an exceptionally detail-oriented researcher to help identify the correct contacts responsible for specific university housing/resource webpages across ~295 .edu sites. This is NOT a basic lead scraping or data entry project. The work requires: - tracing webpage ownership through university organizational structures - understanding subdomains, departments, and institutional hierarchies - identifying who likely manages or has authority over a specific page - making thoughtful judgment calls when no obvious contact exists (In many cases, the correct contact is NOT: the footer email, admissions@, info@, webmaster@, or a general university contact form) The goal is to determine the most contextually appropriate contact for each page. You’ll need to: - investigate URL structures and breadcrumbs - navigate departmental/team pages - identify page ownership - locate the most appropriate operational contact - occasionally use external searches when universities intentionally obscure contact information Deliverables We will provide you with a spreadsheet of URLs and detailed written instructions + examples You will return: - a completed spreadsheet with contact information + reasoning Important note: We care far more about correctness and reasoning than speed. A lower-volume, highly accurate researcher is preferred over someone attempting to move quickly with generic contacts. This project is probably a fit for you if you have experience with: investigative research institutional research executive assistant work journalism grant/foundation research university administration research legal or academic research Hiring process We will begin with a small paid test batch before awarding the full project. To apply: - Briefly explain why you’d be good at this type of work - Describe a difficult research task you’ve handled before - Include the phrase “organizational ownership” somewhere in your response so we know you read the instructions carefully - Explain why generic university emails are often the wrong answer for projects like this

I run a U.S.-based land due diligence business that helps buyers evaluate vacant land before they purchase it. I'm looking for a research assistant to help identify people who are actively researching, evaluating, making offers on, or purchasing vacant land in the United States. This is NOT cold outreach, sales, posting, commenting, or messaging. This is research only. Tasks: * Search Reddit, BiggerPockets, Facebook groups, forums, and other online communities * Find people actively discussing land purchases * Identify high-intent prospects * Organize findings in a spreadsheet For each prospect, provide: * Platform * Link to post/discussion * Username or name * Date of post * State/location (if known) * Short summary * Why they may be a prospect Ideal prospects: * Looking to buy vacant land * Under contract on acreage * Evaluating rural property * Comparing parcels * Asking questions about zoning, access, utilities, floodplain, septic, surveys, easements, restrictions, or due diligence Do NOT include: * Land sellers * Realtors posting listings * General real estate discussions * Gardening or homestead discussions that are not related to buying land * Existing landowners showing off property Priority states: Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. This will begin with a small paid test project (2 hours). If the quality is good, there is potential for ongoing work. When applying, please tell me: 1. Any experience with lead research or online research. 2. Any experience with real estate or land investing. 3. How you would identify a high-intent land buyer versus a casual browser.

I'm working with a client to develop a strategic market map before launching an executive job search. Rather than beginning with job boards or contacting recruiters immediately, we're taking a market-first approach to understand where this executive's experience creates the greatest value. The client has more than 20 years of commercial leadership experience in manufacturing and retail, including ownership of a $300M+ P&L for the largest retail account within a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing company. His background includes strategic national accounts, pricing strategy, go-to-market planning, executive customer relationships, team leadership, and business growth. This is not a resume writing project, and I'm not looking for someone to apply for jobs or submit applications. Instead, I'm looking for someone who enjoys research, connecting information, and building a strategic view of the executive employment landscape. DELIVERABLES I'd like the final deliverable to include research and recommendations such as: • Industries where this background is most valuable • Companies that would likely benefit from this experience • Executive search firms specializing in commercial leadership, manufacturing, building products, packaging, consumer products, or related industries • Independent executive recruiters with strong reputations in these markets • Private equity firms with portfolio companies where this experience may be valuable • Relevant professional associations and networking organizations • Executive-level job titles that best align with the client's experience • Strategic observations about adjacent industries, overlooked opportunities, or positioning recommendations THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE: • Where is this executive most marketable? • Which industries should be prioritized? • Which companies belong on a target list? • Which executive recruiters are actually worth building relationships with? • Are there adjacent opportunities we may not be considering? IDEAL BACKGROUND • Experience in one or more of the following areas: • Executive Search • Executive Recruiting • Talent Intelligence • Market Mapping • Competitive Intelligence • Manufacturing • Building Products • Consumer Products (CPG) • Commercial Leadership • National Accounts • Executive Research WHEN APPLYING PLEASE TELL ME: • Why you're a good fit for this project. • How you would approach the research. • Examples of similar strategic research or executive search projects you've completed. • If you think there is a better approach than the one • I've described, I'd enjoy hearing your perspective.
