About The Position

The Remote Proctoring Operations Contractor is responsible for monitoring and managing incoming remote proctoring related student support tickets. This includes reviewing submissions for completeness and alignment with testing policies (e.g., scheduling, system readiness, identity verification), documenting decisions and rationale, and escalating valid technical issues to internal teams or external vendors as needed.

This is expected to be a 6 month contractor role, 20 hours per week.

• Experience interpreting and applying institutional policies, technical requirements, or standardized review criteria in a consistent and objective manner.
• Ability to recognize and understand common technical issues (e.g., unsupported devices, connectivity loss, system check failures) without performing hands-on IT troubleshooting.
• Comfortable navigating multiple systems simultaneously (ticketing tools, video playback, LMS/assessment platforms, spreadsheets).
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to produce clear, concise, neutral summaries suitable for faculty, leadership, and appeal records.
• Experience documenting decisions and rationales in shared tracking tools (e.g., spreadsheets, case logs, or internal systems).
• Demonstrated ability to apply institutional policies and testing standards consistently, without exception-making based on anecdotal information.
• Proven understanding of FERPA-level confidentiality and appropriate handling of sensitive student data and exam recordings.
• Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with remote proctoring tools, learning management systems, testing platforms, ticketing systems, or similar education technology platforms.
• Demonstrated experience working with confidential student records, exam-related documentation, or sensitive case information in accordance with privacy expectations.
• Strong preference for candidates with experience summarizing findings for internal stakeholders, including faculty, academic leaders, student support teams, or operational leadership.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and manage incoming proctoring-related support tickets submitted by students, ensuring timely review and response.
• Review ticket documentation for completeness, accuracy, and alignment with institutional testing policies (e.g., scheduling, device readiness, system checks, and identity verification).
• Escalate valid technical issues to appropriate internal teams and/or external vendors (e.g., IT, vendor support) when additional investigation is required.
• Document ticket outcomes and rationale clearly within tracking systems to support audits, appeals, and leadership review.
• Complete technical reviews, which include verification and understanding of minimum technology requirements (e.g. RAM, CPU, Internet Speed, etc.).
• Review recorded proctoring exam sessions to verify testing conditions, student behavior, and proctor actions when incidents or appeals are reported.
• Identify and timestamp relevant events within session recordings (e.g., loss of connection, failure to respond to proctor chat, prohibited behaviors, exam termination).
• Assess whether issues observed in session recordings align with student claims and supporting ticket documentation.
• Apply standardized review criteria to distinguish between student responsibility, technical failure, and proctor error.
• Summarize session review findings in concise, neutral language for use in appeal decisions and faculty/campus communication.
• Maintain confidentiality and professionalism when handling sensitive student data, recordings, and communications.
• Maintain accurate logs of ticket volumes, session review outcomes, and issue trends to support continuous improvement and leadership reporting.
