Volunteer: Automated Business Mapping Using AI

About the role

RBIJ works with companies to break down barriers for untapped talent through meaningful changes to corporate and public policy, and to advance narrative change. To do so, we currently identify and recruit new businesses — and their leaders — into this space through a robust amount of manual research and data collection/entry, a process we refer to as “business mapping.”

Responsibilities

• Identify key businesses in each state based on specific considerations including: top employers, largest businesses with headquarters, chambers of commerce and other industry-specific associations, fair chance employers, and those who have attended relevant job fairs.
• Use internet research, business journal directories and databases, spreadsheets, and RocketReach to gather information.
• Currently, this process requires a substantial amount of staff time across the majority of the organization and on an ongoing basis.
• Improve the current manual process by developing an integrated and automated business mapping system.
• Ensure that prospects are identified and tiered based on specific parameters (location, industry, size, mission-alignment).
• Categorize prospects by engagement likelihood and suggest specific engagement opportunities from RBIJ’s offerings.
• Empower RBIJ staff to sustain the product long-term after the fellowship’s completion.
