• Contribute remotely through simple, one-hour interviews. We’re looking for you to provide industry insights. We can do that quickly and easily through scheduled interviews. You share your knowledge and expertise. There is no obligation beyond that.
• Share your input. We form our perspective. Your insights are one of many inputs we use to develop our independent perspective internally for our projects. Your insights will not be used directly in our projects or shared with our clients.
• You are paid once the interview is complete.
• Keep your day job (or stay retired) and receive supplemental pay. Your engagement with Lifecycle Insights doesn’t change your current employment state. Keep doing what you are doing, whether that includes working full-time for another company or enjoying retirement. We’ll provide payment for your contributions.
• Set up to avoid conflicts of interest. Our engagement with you will focus on the business dynamics and trends, processes and practices, roles and responsibilities, organizational structures, and types of solutions in the industry. We will not broach or discuss anything related to your employer. Share this engagement with your employer as appropriate.
• We get started with a short interview. To ensure there is a good fit, we’ll have a short discussion to ensure the engagement works for both parties. If it is a fit, we’ll proceed to get a limited contractor agreement in place and paid projects.

Responsibilities

• Respond to interview requests promptly, within two business days.
• Attend scheduled interviews, participating through online platforms like Zoom.
• Answer interview questions to the best of your ability without sharing any information about your current employer’s efforts in the industry.
