Mid Level

Overview: <p>At Altus, we believe that great students are more than just book smart.</p> <p>We work in partnership with post-secondary academic institutions to help select people with competencies such as empathy, resiliency and communication skills into the programs that grow our future medical professionals and teachers in Canada, the US and as far away as Australia. Our platform, the CASPer test, integrates psychometric evaluations and tests containing situational, open-ended questions that don&rsquo;t have a right or wrong answer. Using our rigorous, well-researched and tested assessments, combined with data-driven insights, we help programs make more informed and data-driven admission decisions resulting in stronger, higher quality students and graduates. We work with over 100 academic institutions worldwide and have screened over 200,000 applicants to date.</p> <p>If you are passionate about building tools that measure people and their human responses, this is the place to be.</p> <p><strong>Who we need</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before an applicant's score can be delivered to their program of choice, their test needs to be graded! At Altus, we call this process "rating". We're looking for a new </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bilingual Operations Coordinator, Rating Lead </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">to join our team and own all things "rating" for the CASPer test including setting up the first team of contractors in a brand new market (via distance) in the UK. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your responsibilities will include (but will not be limited to): team recruitment including onboarding and training of raters, managing test grading across multiple markets, quality control of our different rater pools, and timely results delivery for schools. </span></p> <p>Whether you are an Event Coordinator, a Camp Counsellor, a Project Lead, a Softball Team Captain or Coach, a Student Council President or a budding Entrepreneur, if you want to take on a multi-faceted role at a growing startup, this is the opportunity to consider.</p> <p>This is a team where the emphasis is on raising people up, working together during the busy times, and seeking opportunities for continuous improvement at a relaxed pace during the slower times.
