Assignment description
Our client is looking for an experienced Confirmit Survey Programmer as a consultant to support their global market research platform.

The assignment focuses on designing, developing, maintaining, and optimizing complex surveys in Confirmit/Forsta that run annually and on a rolling basis across students and professionals in 20+ markets. You will take end‑to‑end ownership of survey builds: from logic, routing, quotas, validations, and translations, through to data quality control, sample balancing, and smooth integration into our customer’s analytics stack (Snowflake, Forsta dashboards, Tableau, and their internal insight platform, UIP).

You will work closely with Insight Managers to translate research and business questions into robust survey designs, always starting from the intended outputs and decision needs rather than just a list of questions. The environment is high-scale and production‑critical: surveys are a major revenue driver, and even small changes must be made methodically, documented carefully, and tested thoroughly.

The scope is initially around 50% capacity for the first three months, with strong potential to scale up to a full‑time engagement if the match is right and depending on your broader skills (e.g., Tableau, data crunching, prototyping new survey concepts). Start is as soon as possible, ideally in time to support upcoming survey waves and design changes for the next cycle.

About the team
You will join a small, expert, cross‑functional Analytics team at our Customer.

The team currently includes two survey programmers who manage existing surveys and a broader group of data operation analysts, insight managers, engineers, and digital marketers. You will be the primary senior “ninja” for Confirmit/Forsta survey programming, similar to how the organization previously brought in a Tableau expert to elevate their analytics capabilities.

The Analytics business unit runs the flagship annual Global Talent Survey as well as continuous tracking and additional survey initiatives. In parallel, the Advisory business designs tailored, ad‑hoc surveys for clients throughout the year, creating a broad and varied survey portfolio.

You will collaborate closely with key stakeholders in Stockholm and internationally, often working in short feedback loops with Insight Managers and existing programmers, and joining frequent quick calls to clarify requirements or test new ideas.

Must haves
– Proven experience as a Confirmit/Forsta Survey Programmer or in a very similar role, handling complex, large‑scale, multi‑market surveys.
– Strong hands‑on expertise in Confirmit/Forsta: advanced routing, scripting, quotas, validations, multi‑language management, and country‑specific variants.
– Strong JavaScript skills for custom survey logic and advanced scripting inside the survey platform.
– Solid understanding of survey design principles and market research best practices (especially brand tracking and talent/employee or customer experience surveys).
– Demonstrated ability to manage many survey versions and markets simultaneously while maintaining structure, documentation, and traceability of every change.
– Experience working from business problem and analytical output back to survey design, not just implementing question lists.

Other requirements
– Strong problem‑solving ability and high attention to detail; comfortable working in a production‑critical environment where survey errors directly impact insights and revenue.
– Excellent communication skills in English with the ability to collaborate smoothly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including offshore teams.
– Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and handle multiple concurrent surveys and deadlines.
– Availability for frequent, short syncs during European working hours (the collaboration style is interactive and iterative rather than long, isolated sprints).

About the customer
Our Customer is a global leader in employer branding and talent insights.

For over 20–25 years, they have run large‑scale surveys to understand how students and professionals around the world perceive employers, careers, and brands. Their flagship Global Talent Survey and related tracking programs cover 20–35 markets and form the analytical backbone of their business.

Surveys are a core revenue driver for our Customer, representing the majority of their income, which makes this role both business‑critical and highly impactful. They are currently undergoing a broader transformation of their survey and analytics stack, with modern data pipelines in Python and Snowflake, visualization in Tableau and Forsta dashboards, and their own insight platform.

As the senior Confirmit/Forsta specialist, you will have a rare opportunity to take ownership of a mission‑critical platform in a niche domain, shape how cutting‑edge global talent surveys are designed and executed, and collaborate with a small, dedicated team that values expertise, initiative, and continuous improvement
