[Hiring] Senior survey scripter @PPMI

Role Description

Senior survey scripter (Forsta Plus / Confirmit)

• Remote (EU)
• 12-month service contract, with intention to extend

Why this role is different:

• Verian runs some of the largest and most complex survey programmes across Europe.
• Work with EU institutions, national governments of the UK and EU Member States, national statistical offices, and a wide range of other national and regional public bodies.
• Multi-country, multi-language, multi-mode studies whose results directly inform public policy across the continent.

We are looking for a senior Forsta Plus / Confirmit expert for whom two things will be true at once:

• Your craft is at the centre.
• The core of the role is building complex, multi-market, multi-language surveys that simply work.
• Fast-paced delivery environment where quality, reliability, and quick resolution of issues during live fieldwork are essential.
• Project teams across Europe and global markets will rely on your platform depth every day.

You will help co-create the automation:

• Verian is investing heavily in automation and AI-assisted development for survey scripting.
• Work directly with AI and automation engineers - testing, shaping, and helping build cutting-edge solutions.

What you will do:

• Script and maintain complex surveys in Forsta Plus / Confirmit across CAWI, CATI, CAPI and mixed-mode, multi-market and multi-language studies.
• Design advanced routing, loops, validations and complex, interlocked quota frameworks.
• Troubleshoot and resolve live fieldwork issues quickly and decisively.
• Co-design automated scripting workflows, reusable templates and QA automation together with our engineers.
• Advise project directors and project managers across Europe on approach, feasibility and risk.
• Help shape scripting standards and support less experienced scripters over time.

Qualifications

• Deep hands-on expertise in Forsta Plus / Confirmit (typically 5+ years, or equivalent depth).
• A track record of delivering complex, multi-market, multi-language studies.
• Advanced routing and quota design, with solid JavaScript and HTML/CSS applied within the platform.
• Calm, independent troubleshooting under live fieldwork pressure.
• Professional working proficiency in English. Knowledge of German and/or French would be an advantage.

Requirements

• Interest in, or experience with, AI-assisted coding and scripting tools - highly useful in this role.
• Python and/or R.
• API integrations, sample management and automated data exchanges.
• Advanced methodologies (e.g. MaxDiff, conjoint) or accessibility standards.

Benefits

• Indicative rate of €2,900–4,300 per month - the final offer will be agreed based on your specific skills and experience.
• Full-time engagement on an initial 12-month service contract (independent contractor or affiliate arrangement), with the intention to extend.
• Fully remote, based anywhere in the EU.
• A place in Verian's global Data Solutions team, reporting to a global manager in London.
• A rare chance to apply and learn state-of-the-art AI and automation approaches on real, large-scale programmes.
