This opportunity is ideal for someone who is highly attentive, curious about human behavior, and comfortable turning real-time observations into clear qualitative insight. Responsibilities: • Observe participant behavior across office environments, noting how individuals and groups use layouts, furnishings, tools, and shared spaces during pilot sessions. • Record structured digital notes that capture behavioral patterns, environmental responses, and key moments that may affect workplace usability and experience. • Track how participants move through activities, shift between stations, manage multiple tasks, and respond to noise, interruptions, or changing room conditions. • Recognize recurring themes and translate observations into practical insights that help explain flow, engagement, and workplace effectiveness. • Contribute findings during team debrief discussions to support a broader understanding of employee experience and space performance. • Maintain a detail-focused, unobtrusive presence during workshops so participants can interact naturally within the environment. • Adjust observation methods as session formats, layouts, and pilot processes evolve over the course of the engagement.
