A little about us…
Telogical Systems was established 20+ years ago by a couple entrepreneurs that were passionate about building a company that would delight customers, be a blessing to its employees, and benefit shareholders. That passion continues to drive us today!

We are on a mission to help telecommunications companies across North America successfully understand their competitive landscape so that they can win and retain more business. We achieve this mission through a unique approach: we conduct deep data research and deliver it via journalistic updates, structured reports, and homegrown software applications. We’re looking for a Research Support Specialist to contribute to the heartbeat of all we do: extensive data research.

About the position…
The part-time Research Support Specialist role is heavily focused on three, primary responsibilities as follows:

1. Develop expertise of the telecommunications industry. You will utilize publicly available sources, especially websites, to understand how your team’s portfolio of telecom providers market their products and services to consumers and businesses.
2. Take great care of our clients. While this isn’t a client-facing role, your daily work has a direct impact on our clients’ satisfaction. Your research supports our clients’ tactical decisions every day.
3. Become an expert data wrangler. Data is at the center of what we do, so you will develop skills in managing and aggregating data, particularly in Excel.

To be successful in this role, we anticipate the right candidate will possess the following attributes and capabilities:

• Detail-oriented – demonstrates an acute (friends might say uncanny!) attention to detail
  
• Quick learner – picks up on new concepts quickly and applies them just as fast
  
• Curious – demonstrates hunger for continuous improvement and learning
  
• Determined – strives for the best results, even when the going gets tough

• Clear communicator – conveys information clearly both in conversation and in writing
• Available – able to contribute ≈20 productive hours each week, including participating in occasional audio or video meetings
  

What’s in it for you?
Good question! In addition to joining our fantastic team, we offer the following:

• Employee-focused work environment that fosters open communication and recognition
• Company leadership that believes in flexibility, empowerment, and innovation
  
• Operational philosophy that thrives on lean practices and continuous improvement
