About the Role
About the Role
Millions of people rely on digital maps every day to navigate, to discover, to find their way. But maps are only as accurate as the data behind them, and data is only as trustworthy as the people who verify it. Your knowledge of Mexico's geography, local landmarks, and how people actually navigate your region is something no algorithm can fully replicate. That local intelligence is what makes maps genuinely useful.
Why This Matters
Accurately verified mapping data prevents real-world navigation errors. Your verification work ensures that:
Users can discover trusted businesses and cultural landmarks with confidence
Communities can navigate with accurate, culturally-informed geographic intelligence
Geographic data quality scales across millions of locations and thousands of data variations
At scale, this is infrastructure work. Every verified data point contributes to how billions of people interact with geographic information globally.
What You'll Do
Core Responsibilities
Structured Quality Audits on Spatial Datasets
Conduct detailed, methodical evaluations of geographic and business data entries using advanced mapping platforms and GIS-standard evaluation tools
Assess spatial data points (coordinates, boundaries, locations) for accuracy and consistency across multiple authoritative sources
Verify business information (names, hours, categories, contact details, service offerings) against primary and secondary sources
Evaluate cultural and regional context—ensuring data reflects how Mexicans actually navigate, describe, and interact with their geographic environment
Cross-Reference Complex Data Against Authoritative Sources
Compare business, geographic, and cultural data entries across multiple authoritative sources (official registries, local government databases, business directories, street-level verification)
Identify discrepancies where data conflicts across sources (e.g., conflicting addresses, outdated hours, category misclassifications)
Apply critical thinking to determine which source is most reliable and document reasoning transparently
Rigorous Framework Application
Apply detailed, multi-dimensional evaluation frameworks with consistency and precision across dozens of geographic, business, and cultural data variations
Understand the intent behind evaluation guidelines and apply them contextually—knowing when to follow rules strictly and when to apply judgment
Work Across Diverse Task Types
Be flexible and adaptable across varied evaluation tasks: Maps (location data, boundaries), News (geo-relevant content accuracy), Audio (transcription and context verification), Relevance (data-to-query matching), and emerging task types
Quickly learn new task specifications and apply them with the same rigor
Provide Structured Feedback for Algorithm Improvement
Articulate clear, actionable feedback that helps refine mapping algorithms and improve geographic intelligence
Explain not just what is wrong, but why it matters for real-world navigation and discovery
Suggest data corrections that are specific, evidence-based, and prioritize the most impactful improvements
Why join the project:
Structured onboarding:
Access comprehensive evaluation guidelines, detailed reference materials, and practical examples before your first live assessment
Direct feedback and growth:
Receive performance assessments tied to quality metrics so you can refine your evaluation precision
Intellectually rigorous work:
Each evaluation requires methodical reasoning, framework interpretation, and structured discrepancy analysis.
Mandatory Qualifications
Language Proficiency
Professional fluency in both
and
(native or near-native proficiency required in both languages)

last 5 consecutive years
(required to ensure authentic, current geographic knowledge)
Deep, lived knowledge of Mexico's geography—including major cities, regional landmarks, state and municipal boundaries, and less-prominent areas
Current understanding of how people in your region actually navigate, speak about locations, and describe directions (colloquial usage, cultural references, regional variations)
Analytical and Problem-Solving Capability
Advanced analytical thinking: demonstrated ability to break down complex geographic and business information into component parts, analyze each critically, and synthesize findings
Methodical problem-solving: comfort with systematic approaches to identifying and resolving data discrepancies; ability to think through multiple hypotheses
Attention to detail: capacity to spot inconsistencies, errors, and anomalies across large datasets without losing focus

Comfort with rigorous guideline interpretation: ability to understand detailed evaluation frameworks, ask clarifying questions, and apply them consistently across diverse scenarios
Consistency under complexity: capacity to maintain consistent standards while handling dozens of variations in geographic, business, and cultural data
Documentation discipline: willingness to articulate reasoning clearly in writing, so that your decisions can be audited and learned from
Task Flexibility
Openness to working across diverse task types (Maps, News, Audio, Relevance, and emerging domains)
Ability to learn new task specifications quickly and apply them with the same rigor as established tasks
Adaptability to shifting priorities and project needs
Technical Literacy
Comfortable learning and using mapping platforms and data evaluation interfaces
Able to navigate web-based tools, upload files, and troubleshoot basic technical issues
No programming experience required; willingness to learn new tools is essential
Technical Requirements
Stable, reliable internet connection (minimum 5 Mbps download/upload recommended)
Personal computer or laptop with current operating system, functioning keyboard, and mouse
Quiet, distraction-free workspace for focused evaluation work
Qualification path
Assessment
In order to be hired into the program, you’ll take an open book qualification exam that will determine your suitability for the position and complete ID verification. Our team will provide you with guidelines and learning materials before your qualification exam. You will be required to complete the exam in a specific timeframe but at your convenience.
Service Rates
Compensation is based on tasks completed and project availability. Estimated earnings may vary depending on task volume and program requirements including, quality, and productivity, in accordance with the program's quality standards and guidelines.
Independent Contractor Relationship
This opportunity is offered on an independent contractor basis. Contributors have the flexibility to choose when and how much they work, subject to project availability and quality requirements. This opportunity is not and should not be construed as creating an employment relationship with TELUS Digital.
