Troubleshooting & Support: Quickly diagnose and resolve technical scripting bugs, link tracking issues, or respondent flow bottlenecks during live fieldwork.

Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner directly with internal Project Managers and client-side researchers to clarify requirements and provide updates on project timelines.

Data Scrubbing: Clean and scrub survey data to remove duplicate or fraudulent responses while preserving dataset integrity.

Data Privacy & Compliance: Handle respondent data in line with confidentiality requirements, ensuring PII is scrubbed or anonymised before delivery.

What We’re Looking For Experience: 6+ years of hands-on survey programming experience within a market research, panel, or data collection environment.

Platform Expertise: Advanced proficiency in major survey programming platforms (such as Decipher, Qualtrics, Alchemer or similar ResTech tools).

Technical Skills: Strong working knowledge of web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to customize survey interfaces and design.

Experience with Python or XML is a strong plus.

Eye for Detail: Exceptional analytical and QA skills with a track record of delivering clean, error-free survey logic and data files.

Client facing: strong experience collaborating with internal stakeholders (Project Managers, Commercial teams, etc) and external clients, managing expectations, resolving technical queries and ensuring timely delivery.
