Overview:
Guidepoint's Market Research Team is seeking a Senior Survey Programmer to help set up and program some of our most complex/bespoke market research questionnaires into web-based platforms with custom web design, and conducting QA on programmed survey work.

What You’ll Do:
Program market research questionnaires provided in Microsoft Word formatting into the Qualtrics online survey platform in a high quality and timely manner

Use web-oriented programming languages (Javascript/JQuery, HTML/CSS) to create custom question designs, back-end logic/data structure, or display functionality within the Qualtrics survey platform to meet client requests
Contribute to accessible libraries of Javascript/JQuery examples to enable consistent and repeatable execution of custom question, data structure, or logic designs within a survey for less technical programming staff
Make recommendations to project managers for adjustments or clarification where designs or specifications are unclear to yourself or would produce confusion for survey respondents
Conduct quality assurance on programmed surveys to ensure they meet client/project requirements prior to sending
Ensure projects are set up to collect sample, either internally or via redirects from external recruitment partners
Manage and upload translations provided by third parties, and conduct quality assurance to ensure translations are displaying correctly for end respondents
Communicate directly and indirectly with project managers on project status updates, edit requests, and questions, through instant messaging, video calls, and updates in project management platforms
Coordinate with fieldwork teams to ensure necessary quotas are set up and kept up-to-date
Other duties as required
What You Have:

Ability to interface with internal teams to gather requirements, translate spec documents into programmed surveys, and communicate updates on timing expectations
Experience with JavaScript/jQuery, HTML, and CSS for developing custom question types or presentations
Comfort with implementing more complex survey design elements (conjoint, maxdiff, least-fill randomization)
Experience QAing surveys and designing survey QA processes and workflows to ensure that work aligns to requested spec/design work
Ability to consult on best practices for survey design and experience, flagging if survey designs may have issues that make them difficult for end-respondents to answer
