Job Description

IMPACT Group is a certified woman-owned career coaching firm based in St. Louis, MO that focuses on relocation, leadership development, and outplacement solutions. Our team of 300+ is united on one idea: People can succeed professionally and personally even through difficult career challenges and transitions. We are building a better world by empowering people to find and grow great careers. As employees transition in, within, and out of a company, IMPACT Group coaching programs make a difference, helping people along their career path and move into desirable roles – working in their hometown, remotely or literally, anywhere in the world.  

We’re on a mission to maximize human potential in an increasingly tech-enabled world. While partnering with companies of all sizes – large and small, national and global – our business model emphasizes the importance of human connections. Join IMPACT Group and you’ll be helping others move their careers forward! 

Candidates must reside in the St. Louis metro area . This is a part-time, mostly remote position with ~5% in our Chesterfield office for meetings and events. Also available for occasional team lunches. Researchers make their own schedules, however, should schedule their work time Monday through Friday, during business hours so we can reach businesses during their work hours. Must be able to work 20 hours/week, and up to 30 hours/week in the summer months.

Job Summary : 
Complete online and phone research to help individuals and families as they navigate corporate relocations.  This role involves things like helping people find a new doctor’s office, researching information on gaining professional licenses, helping people find childcare, etc. Some of our research is complex, and some of the work is straightforward, but all of it is important.  This job makes a difference in people’s lives.

This is a remote, work-from-home position with very flexible hours and is an entry-level, hourly-paid position.  While this may not be the job that pays you enough to buy that new Ferrari you've always wanted, you’ll get a great team to work with, plus schedule flexibility to take care of the things that you need to do in your personal life.  Many of our part-time researchers see this job as a "side hustle" to complement full-time work in teaching or taking care of their kids/families.

Qualifications :

• Candidates must hold a High School Diploma or GED (no college required, some college a plus)
• Candidates must be at least 18 years old
• Candidates must have good phone skills, good working knowledge of the internet

• You have a positive attitude and ability to collaborate with team to drive results.
