The Company

At Springboard, we’re on a mission to bridge the world’s skills gap, offering transformative online education in data science, UI/UX design, machine learning, and coding. Our courses may be tech-enabled, but we're ultimately human-centric: each student taps into a vast community throughout their time with us, engaging with fellow students, industry-expert mentors, student advisors, and career coaches, the goal of which is to successfully transition students into their dream job. Through this hybrid approach, we’ve helped thousands of learners revamp their careers and, by extension, their lives, with hundreds of top-notch job offers received every year and a near-perfect placement rate for our program graduates.

The Opportunity

We are constantly testing new ways to offer a better learning experience to our students, and be better partners to our mentors. To date, students can receive a through walk through of their portfolio, practice their presentation, and receive feedback. 

Students will still be paired with a single mentor who will support them through the course. In addition, they will now be able to schedule one-off mentor calls with other mentors when they have completed their research presentation. Students will choose an available time slot for the call and be paired, for a single call, with any available Research Reviewer. Students have a max quota allowance of one unlimited mentor call per 24 hours. 

How it works

• Students can schedule research reviewer video calls through YouCanBookMe (YCBM) 
• Students can choose an available time slot for the call or can choose a specific mentor
• During the call, you listen to the presentation and offer feedback verbally
• After the call you will mark a score for the presentation and write feedback on the coach dashboard

Expectations

• Suggestion (not required) availability for at least 5 hours on average per week
• High degree of familiarity with the entire course curriculum
• Have empathy for students who are struggling
• Demonstrate excellent communication skills including being able to break down complex concepts for beginners
• Fill out feedback on the coach dashboard after each ODMC call
• Experience working in User Research

Compensation

• Research reviewers are compensated per call
• Any calls cancelled or rescheduled less than 24 hours in advance will still be paid
• We will count your regular mentor calls at the end of each month and add your research reviewer payment to your normal honorarium distribution
