[Hiring] Senior data processing analyst @PPMI

Role Description

Senior data processing analyst

• 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 in Europe for 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.
• The data you process and quality-assure directly informs public policy decisions across the continent.

We are looking for a senior data processing specialist for whom two things will be true at once:

• Your craft is at the centre.
• The core of the role is expert delivery: processing, weighting, quality-assuring and delivering accurate survey data to demanding deadlines, in a fast-paced environment.
• You will help co-create the automation.

What you will do:

• Own the data processing side of projects end to end: specifications, data management, quality assurance, documentation and final deliverables.
• Carry out weighting, significance testing and other statistical procedures, working with methods specialists on complex survey designs.
• Produce high-quality data tables, datasets and analytical outputs.
• Help develop automated processing workflows in Python and/or R, including modernising existing SPSS-based processes.
• Apply AI-assisted tools to coding, QA, validation and documentation.
• Act as the technical contact for project directors, project managers and, where needed, clients.
• Mentor and develop less experienced analysts as the team grows.

Qualifications

• Proven senior-level experience in survey data processing within market, social or policy research.
• Strong coding in Python and/or R applied to data processing, validation or automation.
• Solid survey statistics: weighting, significance testing, confidence intervals.
• Deep understanding of survey data structures and downstream delivery requirements.
• Professional working proficiency in English. Knowledge of German and/or French would be an advantage.

Requirements

• Interest in, or experience with, AI-assisted development tools - highly useful in this role.
• SPSS and experience modernising SPSS workflows into code.
• SQL, Databricks, Azure or other cloud data platforms.
• Data visualisation (Power BI, R Shiny, Dash or similar).

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, working on one or several large assignments alongside project directors and managers across Europe.
• A rare chance to apply and learn state-of-the-art AI and automation approaches on real, large-scale programmes.
