Tuyển dụng Senior Researcher tại Đà Nẵng

WHO WE ARE NIA Production builds YouTube brands that teach people something real and change how they see the world. Every channel we run is our own, built from the first idea by our in-house team and seen by millions of people. We are 100+ people and growing fast, working on-site, hybrid and hiring from all over the world. THE ABYSSAL NETWORK This role sits on our Abyssal iceberg channels. They go layer by layer through dark, strange and overlooked topics. The format is changing. We are moving from many short segments to fewer, deeper ones at the same video length. That means every layer now has to carry real research instead of a repackaged version of someone else's video. The channels that win this format give viewers findings they cannot get anywhere else. That is what you are here to make happen. WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE LOOKING FOR YOU TO SOLVE? Our research team has no one overseeing it. Nobody owns the quality of the work or makes sure it keeps getting better. You will be that person.

• You set the standard and keep it improving
• You keep the team at that standard. You train them to reach it, and you replace the bottom performers when coaching is not enough.
• You ensure that the final output that reaches writers and editors is deep, detailed, lean and useful. It is never a pile of messy notes, loose links and scattered information that people downstream cannot use.

Yêu cầu công việc

WHO YOU ARE We need a researcher who can find what is not sitting online in finished form and really dig deep in researching the topic/segments, and who can teach other people to do the same.

• You dig past the first page of Google, and you enjoy it.
• You research for the story, not around it. You read a brief and understand what the segment is trying to say, including what is between the lines.
• You can tell a primary source from a repost of a repost, and you treat them differently.
• You would rather send work back with clear notes than quietly fix it yourself.
• You are obsessed with dark, disturbing and true-crime stories. You research them on your own time, even when no one is paying you to.

Must-have:

• You care about the material. Dark, true crime and obscure topics are something you would read about anyway.
• You are a real researcher, not a sourcer. This is the whole job. You know how to dig: where to look, what to pull, and how to reach the material other people cannot find or only scratch the surface of. You can show us original research where you found something that was not already assembled online.
• Your research serves the story. You start from the brief, idealization, and anle, find the anchor of each segment, and go deep on that. You keep what moves the story forward and cut what does not. Every major claim has a source. A writer should be able to script directly from your document without more research. If you find a stronger angle, or something that breaks the brief, you flag it early with sources and discuss it with the team.
• You have trained people. You have taught others how to research and given notes on their work, and they got better because of it.
• You keep your methods current. New tools, sources and search methods appear constantly. You follow them, test them, and update how you and the team work. What was good research two years ago is not good enough now.
• You are comfortable in the hard places. Court records, archives, deleted uploads, old forums, and press in other languages.

Nice-to-have:

• A writing background. you know what a writer actually uses and needs and cut any unnecessary filler from the research document. You keep only what it is valuable

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Set the standard. Write down what good research looks like here: what counts as a source, how deep each segment has to go, and what an original finding is.
• Train the team. Teach researchers to go deep, using our strongest existing research documents as the reference, and make those the standard for everything that follows
• Build the case outline. Once a researcher finishes the research, they turn it into an outline of the case in chronological order. The outline shows how the story unfolds and where each segment sits. Researchers don't hand over a pile of notes.
• Review before writing. Every segment passes you before it reaches a writer. Approve it, send it back, or reject it, and say why every time.
  • Approve: what the researcher did well and why the segment works.
  • Send back: what specifically needs to change, and how to avoid the same gap next time.
  • Reject: why it failed and what would have made it pass.
  • The goal is to maintain research quality, help researchers learn from their mistakes, and ensure they understand how to produce better segments independently in the future.
• Check the angle. Before approving, confirm the segment researched, or about to be researched, fits the pre-production angle. A segment that is well sourced but off-angle goes back, with a note on how to realign it.
• Track performance. Keep records of each researcher's work and progress, measured against the standard. If someone keeps underperforming after clear feedback and support, raise it early instead of carrying them.
• Fix the process. Spot broken or outdated parts of the research workflow before they cause bigger problems, test better methods, and bring the COO practical recommendations without waiting to be asked.
• Keep it true and keep it new. Every claim traces to a real source. Every segment has something a viewer cannot find in another video on the same topic.

RESULTS Success in this role is measured by:

• Every video carries findings viewers cannot get elsewhere.
• Nothing false is published as fact. Every claim can be traced to a source.
• The researchers get better. Less of their work comes back to them over time.
• A written research standard exists, and new researchers are trained on it.
• Nothing downstream waits on your review.
