Senior EX Scientist - APJ Advisory Team

Why We Have This Role

Qualtrics is on a mission to make business more human and eliminate bad experiences. We help companies determine what experiences they want their customers and employees to have, understand the experiences they are actually delivering, and then take action to close the gap. The desire to connect and be understood is innate in every interaction whether it’s face-to-face with teammates, on the phone with agents in your contact center, or as customers scroll through your website. But here’s the catch - understanding how to make those connections is getting harder; customer and employee expectations are constantly evolving and at an all time high. CX & EX leaders must rise to the challenge, modernizing legacy listening programs that rely on surveys alone. More specifically in terms of employee experience, it is critical that companies create and continually evolve an environment where employees are attracted, engaged, growing, and developing to compete for top talent in the new world of work.

Our Advisory Services team partners directly with clients to design, build, and improve programs focused on creating great Customer & Employee Experiences. We offer a range of Advisory Services, which provide critical leadership and design innovation to clients looking to make big improvements to their CX & EX programs.

The ideal EX Scientist will have deep expertise designing and building large-scale EX listening programs within global organizations. You will understand the common challenges faced by organizations at all levels of EX maturity, and have experience and credibility to guide customers, executives, and other program owners and stakeholders to better solutions. You will be able to work side-by-side with senior client leaders who are responsible for these programs, and help them be successful - by coaching, offering your own experiences, and helping them crack novel problems that emerge along the way.

How You’ll Find Success

• Strategic Leadership : Lead design for large-scale programs from vision to ongoing value realization, driving transformational change and continuous improvement.

• Employee Experience Expertise : Utilize your extensive EX design and delivery experience to serve as a trusted advisor, translating customer needs into actionable business requirements.

How You’ll Grow

Be at the cutting edge of customer experience & experience management.
