Role Overview

As a Remote In‑Home Product Tester & Customer Support Specialist, you will serve as the first line of feedback for a diverse portfolio of consumer products. Your primary responsibility is to use the product as intended, document your experience, and share detailed insights that help brands refine their offerings. You will work independently, but you will also collaborate with brighthush’s research partners and occasionally participate in private chat rooms to discuss your findings.

• Write detailed reviews and feedback entries in the designated online portal or mobile app.
• Take clear, well‑lit photographs of the product, its packaging, and any relevant usage scenarios.
• Participate in private chat rooms or discussion forums hosted by partner market research firms to share real‑time observations.
• Maintain a consistent testing routine, completing 15‑25 hours of work per week.
• Respect the confidentiality and privacy of the testing process, ensuring no sensitive data is shared outside the authorized channels.
• Use brighthush’s Mobile In‑Home Use Test Technology (a cutting‑edge smartphone platform that captures Point‑of‑Emotion insights) when required.
• Report any product defects, usability issues, or safety concerns promptly to the research team.

• Familiarity with mobile app usage and basic troubleshooting.
• Experience with video or audio recording tools.

• Product Manager – Guiding product strategy from concept to launch.
