The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  RSM is hiring a Teaching Assistant in Aurora, IL.

• Role description

  We built this Teaching Assistant role around momentum, so if you pair Stakeholder Management with Time Management, RSM will get out of your way. The bargain is plain — your 5 years and Active Listening for $67,000 - $100,000, plus a general team that hands over the reins.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes
  • Make the empathy-led call when the data points two different directions
  • Sense when an Aurora relationship needs a call, not an email
  • Close the loop on every Aurora request you touch
  • Own assigned projects from kickoff through final delivery
  • Track key metrics and report findings to your manager each week
  • Absorb 4 of context fast and start contributing sooner
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch

  What You'll Bring

  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • Working familiarity with freelance schedules and team norms at RSM
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • Prior experience working on-site in Aurora, IL, or willingness to relocate
  • Pattern recognition earned across many general engagements
  • Proven Accountability results, ideally seasoned in Aurora, IL
  • 3+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way

  RSM spent 5 years in the trenches of general so its clients across Aurora, IL wouldn't have to. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.

  We seal the offer with $67,000 - $100,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, the four reasons IL talent picks RSM first.
