Help applicants be seen for their full potential. Every year, thousands of people complete Casper as part of applying to programs in medicine, nursing, and other professions. Casper is designed to understand the human skills that matter in these professions, helping universities and colleges see more of who an applicant is and the potential they bring, beyond academic achievement alone.
Behind every test is a team making sure the experience runs smoothly, problems are caught and resolved, and applicants get the support they need along the way. As a Test Support Operations Associate, you’ll help run the day-to-day operations behind Casper. You’ll prepare for upcoming tests, make sure everything is ready to go, monitor what’s happening during testing, investigate issues when they arise, and help ensure each test is completed successfully.
As those experiences become available, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how they work and help build the operational support needed to deliver them reliably, too. You’ll also help us make the work better. The people closest to an operation often see things others don’t: a process that could be simpler, an issue that keeps coming up, or a better way to help applicants.

This is a fully remote role open to candidates based anywhere in Canada. If you use it to support your application, make sure it helps communicate your experience clearly and accurately.
Before each test, everything needs to be prepared and checked. While applicants are completing the test, the team monitors what’s happening and responds when something doesn’t go as expected. Afterwards, there’s work to complete before that test is truly finished.
You’ll start by learning the processes behind Casper and taking responsibility for specific pieces of the work with support from experienced teammates. Some days, you’ll be preparing for upcoming tests and checking that everything is ready. Other days, you might investigate an issue, help process a retake, support the team during a busy testing period, or work with a teammate to figure out what needs to happen next.
And because running tests well isn’t just about following a process, you’ll also help us improve how the work gets done. You’ll notice where something is unclear or repetitive, help keep our documentation useful and up to date, and look for practical ways, including using AI, to make our processes simpler and more reliable. Learn how Casper works and how the different pieces of test operations come together.

Every test you help prepare, every issue you help resolve, and every process you improve contributes to an experience where applicants can focus on what matters: the opportunity to of who they are and the potential they bring.

Following through on your work and becoming a dependable teammate during busy test cycles.

As our assessment offerings evolve, you’ll also have opportunities to apply that knowledge to current experiences and help shape how we support them operationally.
You’ll join Acuity’s Operations - Support team, the group that helps keep Casper running smoothly today and will increasingly support new assessment experiences as they become available. You’ll work alongside teammates who specialize in different areas of support operations, including test execution, accommodations, communications, and enablement. The team works closely together during test cycles, sharing context, solving problems, and stepping in to support one another when things get busy.
