About the role

Contract Psychometrician 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.
