About this role

We’re looking for a Contract Psychometrician to help us adapt validated psychological assessments into simplified, product-friendly questions for our client intake and profiling system.

You’ll work with our product and content teams to adapt validated psychological assessments into simplified, user-friendly questions that preserve construct validity and enable tag-based client profiling

Your work will directly influence how users are understood, categorized, and guided to the right interventions across our product ecosystem.

Responsibilities

- Review validated assessments (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, BFI, etc.) and identify core constructs relevant for our client profiling model.

- Simplify and rephrase items into short, accessible questions while maintaining construct alignment and internal consistency.

- Develop short-form versions (3–6 questions per domain) suitable for tagging and personalization logic.

- Collaborate with Product and Clinical teams to define response scales, scoring logic, and tag mappings.

- Document rationale and traceability between simplified items and original validated scales.

- Provide feedback on psychometric soundness during pilot testing and data collection phases.

- Validate the modified (shortened/product-friendly) questions against the original validated instrument to ensure fidelity.

Requirements

- Master’s or PhD in Psychometrics, Psychology, or Educational Measurement (or equivalent experience).

- Demonstrated experience in test construction, adaptation, and validation (e.g., reliability, construct validity).

- Strong grasp of psychological constructs like motivation, emotion regulation, and wellbeing.

- Ability to simplify complex assessments for lay audiences without losing validity.

- Excellent written communication and clear documentation skills.
