What you'll do

Employee listening strategy

  • Own the global 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.
Nice to have
  • Master's degree in industrial-organizational psychology, organizational behavior, or quantitative social science.
  • Qualtrics EX certification, or experience as a Qualtrics EX administrator.
  • Experience consolidating survey platforms or programs across entities, for example after a merger.
  • Experience designing or running 360 feedback programs.
  • Experience with AI assistants or chat-based tools that surface survey data to managers.
  • Qualtrics API or HRIS integration experience (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or similar).
  • Experience with works councils and European employee consultation requirements.
  • Professional proficiency in Spanish or another major language used in NTT DATA's workforce.
  • Mentoring or informal team leadership experience.
