The People Scientist role entails being a thought leader in the HR and engagement space while assisting customers with survey question design, analyzing survey results, performance management processes, communication approaches, and feedback strategies for our customers at the organization, group, and individual level. People scientists work directly with current and prospective customers to explain the science behind measuring and improving employee engagement and performance management processes using Culture Amp’s platform.  Our ideal candidates will be able to present their expertise on both the academic and applied study of today’s workforce in personable and engaging ways that align with both educational partnerships and sales relationships.

 

Your greatest skill is being able to listen and understand our customers’ needs and provide clarity around direction and strategy. You love empowering people and your passion lies in diving into data to uncover stories and provide insights, as well as imparting knowledge to up-skill customers and coworkers. We are looking for an energetic, dedicated, and collaborative professional to work with a close-knit customer team that takes users all the way from leads to champions across customers ranging in size from tens to tens of thousands of employees. We want someone who shares our passion for simplifying people analytics and performance management, teaching clients to draw insights from data on their own, and building our community of amazing people geeks. This position is for a mid- to senior-level role with no direct reports working with customers based in either the Pacific Time Zone and within a commutable distance to Culture Amp’s San Francisco office.

 

We asked some of our People Scientists what they love about their work, and here are a few things you can look forward to:

• You’ll get to flex your expertise around all aspects of work behavior. Culture Amp is the full Employee Experience Platform, so you’ll coach managers and executives through things like onboarding, engagement, performance, development, team dynamics, and diversity and inclusion.  
• You’ll embody a true scientist-practitioner model. At Culture Amp, our work is grounded in scientific and methodological rigor, and our recommendations are informed by the latest applied and academic literature combined with the practical context of organizational life. 
• You’ll be relied upon as a subject matter expert when working with customers and Camper colleagues alike. Our People Scientists are great at explaining things, but they enjoy puzzles too. Our curiosity motivates us to go find answers, and we’ve got plenty of data to test hypotheses!
• You’ll present thought leadership combining your domain expertise with your experience to educate the public on industry trends and the evolving nature of work. Our People Scientists frequently present this thought leadership at in-person and virtual events.
