  • Partner with HR product teams, COEs, and leaders to frame business and experience questions and translate them into effective listening strategies and instruments

  • Analyze qualitative and quantitative employee feedback to generate clear, actionable insights that inform HR strategy, product design, and experience improvements

  • Collaborate with broader HR Data & Intelligence organization to integrate listening data with broader workforce data and enable deeper, more contextual insights

  • Communicate insights through compelling storytelling, visualizations, and executive‑ready narratives, ensuring findings lead to meaningful action and impact

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Human Resources, Social Sciences, Data Science, or a related field

  • 5 years of experience in employee listening, people analytics, or organizational research roles

  • Demonstrated experience designing, executing, and analyzing employee surveys, including annual engagement surveys and pulse or lifecycle listening

  • Strong ability to translate employee feedback into clear, actionable insights that inform HR decisions, programs, and experiences

  • Experience working with both quantitative and qualitative data, including survey results, open‑text feedback, and experience signals

  • Strong analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to connect listening insights to business and experience outcomes

  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to synthesize insights and present them clearly to HR and business stakeholders

Preferred:

  • Experience evolving employee listening toward continuous, always‑on, or experience‑based models, beyond periodic surveys

  • Familiarity with passive listening signals (e.g., text feedback, behavioral indicators, operational signals), with appropriate ethical and privacy considerations

  • Experience working in product‑based, agile, or cross‑functional delivery environments

  • Exposure to advanced analytics, text analytics, or data science techniques applied to employee feedback

  • Experience operating in large, global, or matrixed organizations
