• Where you have language capabilities, facilitate/moderate the Crowd participants during fieldwork
• For other languages, brief facilitator / moderator to ensure highest possible quality participation and response quality
• Ensure study design and discussion guide details are included and executed fully
• Assist with final client report delivery
