About this study
Mercor is building a new, more accurate version of ONET - the U.S. government's framework for describing occupations and the tasks they involve. We are gathering input directly from experienced practitioners to improve how the work of information technology project managers is described.
What you'll do
- Complete a one-time online survey/interview about your day-to-day work as an IT project manager. It takes up to 30 minutes.
- There may be an optional follow-up survey, task, or short interview afterward, which would be paid separately.
Pay
- Pay is set in proportion to the expected hourly wage for information technology project managers~. The initial task is~ 30 minutes, so it pays roughly half an hour at that rate, with the potential for additional paid tasks later.
Who we're looking for
- 2+ years of experience working specifically as an IT project manager (SOC 15-1299.09 - Information Technology Project Managers).
- U.S.-based.
- Currently employed as an IT project manager, or employed in the role recently - we are not looking for people who left the profession many years ago.
- You must have actually held an IT project manager role. Students or people with only general IT exposure are not a fit unless they have genuinely worked as an IT project manager.
