This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Behavioral Scientist based in the United States. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape the scientific foundations of an innovative new product at the intersection of behavioral science, workplace psychology, and technology. As Staff Behavioral Scientist, you will own the scientific integrity of a new venture, ensuring its assessments, insights, and claims are rigorous, credible, and supported by evidence. You will apply industrial-organizational psychology to product development, research, and market positioning while helping validate solutions in real organizational environments. Working within a lean, startup-style team, you will collaborate closely with product, engineering, and go-to-market leaders. This role offers significant influence over the research agenda, product roadmap, and scientific standards of an emerging offering. It is ideal for an experienced scientist who combines deep psychometric expertise with a practical, entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm for AI-enabled innovation. Accountabilities You will establish and maintain the scientific foundation of the new venture, ensuring that its products and market claims meet rigorous standards of validity, reliability, and credibility. - Apply industrial-organizational psychology principles, including assessment science, team dynamics, leadership, employee engagement, and job fit, to product, research, and positioning decisions. - Design and validate new psychometric instruments, measurement scales, and scoring models required by the product. - Ensure that all new assessments and methodologies meet rigorous scientific standards consistent with established assessment practices. - Conduct applied research with pilot customers, including criterion and construct validation, efficacy studies, and norm development.
- Evaluate whether the product delivers measurable workplace outcomes and generate evidence to support its effectiveness. - Translate peer-reviewed research in industrial-organizational psychology and organizational behavior into practical product features, user experiences, and go-to-market messaging. - Communicate complex scientific concepts in accessible language that product teams can implement and HR and business leaders can trust. - Own the scientific defensibility of product claims and develop supporting documentation, including technical manuals, validity evidence, and white papers. - Collaborate with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to shape the venture's research priorities, product roadmap, and market strategy. - Contribute beyond traditional scientific responsibilities in a fast-moving environment, helping the team explore, build, and validate a new market. Requirements The ideal candidate combines advanced behavioral science expertise with hands-on experience developing and validating assessments in practical business environments. You should be comfortable building from the ground up, working across disciplines, and using emerging technologies to improve the quality and speed of your work. - PhD or equivalent applied experience in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Psychometrics, or a closely related discipline. - Approximately 8–10 years of relevant professional experience, ideally in an early-stage company or developing a product that has not yet achieved product-market fit. - Deep practical expertise in psychometric development, including scale construction, Item Response Theory (IRT) or Classical Test Theory (CTT), validation design, and norm development. - Demonstrated experience conducting applied validation research in real organizational settings, beyond academic laboratory environments.
