What you'll do
Employee listening strategy
+ Own the integral employee listening calendar across the annual census, pulse surveys, and lifecycle surveys (onboarding, exit, internal mobility), balancing insight needs against survey fatigue.
+ Recommend when to survey, when to use existing data instead, and when to retire survey instruments that no longer earn their place.
Listening portfolio expansion
+ Build a phased roadmap that extends listening beyond the annual Employee Engagement Survey, prioritized by business need and data readiness.
+ Design and launch onboarding and exit (offboarding) surveys, triggered from HR system events.
+ Extend into lifecycle listening at key moments such as internal moves, promotions, and return from leave.
+ Introduce targeted pulse surveys to track priority themes and change programs between annual cycles.
+ Develop a 360 feedback offering for leaders and managers, with clear rules on confidentiality and use.
+ Connect insight across survey instruments so leaders see a single employee experience view, not separate survey reports.
Survey design
+ Design and maintain survey instruments: item writing, scale design, and question libraries that protect year-over-year trend comparability.
+ Manage translation and cultural equivalence across countries and languages.




+ Define sampling approaches for pulse surveys and targeted listening activity.
Analysis and insight
+ Run driver analysis, significance testing, and segmentation across the organization, including small-team reporting within anonymity rules.
+ Analyze open-text comments at scale using Qualtrics Text iQ and AI-assisted methods.
+ Link listening data to business outcomes such as attrition, performance, and utilization, working with the wider PA&I; team.
Executive communication
+ Translate results into concise narratives for the Senior Leadership Team, regional leaders, and People & Culture business partners.
+ Present findings directly to senior audiences and defend your methodology and results under questioning.
Manager enablement and action
+ Run the Employee Engagement Survey action-planning cadence and track whether actions are taken and whether they move outcomes.
+ Shape the content and roadmap of AI-enabled manager tools with the AI & Projects team, including what data it surfaces and how adoption is measured.
+ Produce practical guidance that helps managers interpret results and act.
Platform and governance
+ Specify, review, and quality-assure Qualtrics configuration: hierarchies, metadata, dashboards, role-based access, and anonymity thresholds.




+ Ensure listening activity meets GDPR and local data protection requirements, including works council consultation where required.
+ Manage the day-to-day relationship with Qualtrics as a vendor.
What you'll bring
+ 10-12 years in employee listening, people analytics, organizational research, or survey research, with at least 4 years running employee surveys at scale in a large or multinational organization.
+ Experience building a listening portfolio beyond an annual survey, such as onboarding, exit, lifecycle, or pulse programs.
+ Strong survey methodology: item and scale design, validity, trend management, sampling, and cross-cultural survey administration.
+ Working knowledge of Qualtrics EmployeeXM, deep enough to specify and quality-assure hierarchies, metadata, dashboards, role-based access, and anonymity thresholds.
+ Applied statistics: driver analysis, regression, significance testing, and segmentation. Hands-on use of R or Python alongside Qualtrics.
+ Text analytics experience, including Qualtrics Text iQ or equivalent, and familiarity with AI-assisted comment analysis.
+ A track record of presenting survey insight to senior leaders and influencing decisions.
+ Experience turning results into manager action, with evidence of how adoption was driven and measured.
+ Ability to deliver through colleagues and stakeholders you don't manage, across regions and time zones.
+ Sound understanding of confidentiality, GDPR, and ethical use of employee data.
+ Bachelor's degree in psychology, statistics, social sciences, economics, or a related field.
+ Fluent professional English, written and spoken.
