Verian is an independent research, evidence, evaluation, and communications agency that helps governments solve public policy challenges by working with citizens and the public realm.

About the role
Survey scripter (Forsta Plus / Confirmit)
Remote (EU) 12-month service contract, with intention to extend
Why this role is different
Verian runs some of the largest and most complex survey programmes in Europe - for EU institutions, national governments of the UK and EU Member States, national statistical offices, and other national and regional public bodies. The surveys you help build will directly inform public policy decisions across the continent.
The core of the role is the craft itself: building and testing surveys that work reliably, in a fast-paced delivery workplace where accuracy and quality matter every day. At the same time, Verian is investing heavily in automation and AI-assisted approaches to survey scripting, and you will be part of that journey from the start - working alongside the engineers building these solutions, and learning skills in automation and AI-assisted workflows that very few scripting roles anywhere can offer.
What you will do
Script and test surveys in Forsta Plus / Confirmit across CAWI, CATI, CAPI and mixed-mode studies
Implement routing logic, conditions, loops, validations and quota structures from specifications
Support multi-language setup, translation loading and testing
Apply HTML/CSS and basic JavaScript using existing templates and guidance
Carry out testing and quality assurance, and support projects during live fieldwork
Work with our automation engineers, learning and applying AI-assisted scripting approaches as they are rolled out
What you need from day one




Hands-on experience building surveys or comparable logic-driven work - Forsta Plus / Confirmit experience is ideal, but we will also seriously consider candidates coming from other survey platforms (e.g. Qualtrics, Decipher, Nfield, Askia, Voxco) or from adjacent backgrounds such as web development or data work, provided you can demonstrate strong logical thinking and attention to detail
Basic familiarity with HTML/CSS; some exposure to JavaScript is a plus
Genuine care for accuracy and quality - surveys must simply work
Professional working proficiency in English. Knowledge of German and/or French would be an advantage
What will strengthen your application (not required - we will teach you)
Interest in AI-assisted coding tools, automation or Python/R
Experience with multi-language or multi-market studies
Understanding of survey data structures
If you are coming from another platform or an adjacent field, expect a structured learning path: we will train you in Forsta Plus / Confirmit and in our automated workflows, with direct mentoring from senior scripters.
What we offer
Indicative rate of €2,*****,000 per month - the final offer will be agreed based on your specific skills and experience
Full-time engagement on an initial 12-month service contract (independent contractor or affiliate arrangement), with the intention to extend
Fully remote, based anywhere in the EU
A place in Verian's global Data Solutions team, reporting to a global manager in London, working on large assignments alongside project managers across Europe
Hands-on exposure to AI-assisted and automated survey development - a skill set that will define this profession over the coming years
The process - quick and simple
One introductory call, which will also cover the technical side; potentially a small practical task; then a fast decision. The work is available now and waiting - we will come back to you immediately, so if this sounds interesting, please get in touch as soon as you can.
