Equal Opportunity & Accommodations
At Perceptyx, we're on a mission to help organizations turn employee insights into measurable impact. Our AI-enabled employee experience platform leverages the science of listening, behavioral nudges, and predictive analytics to help clients elevate engagement, retention, and performance. We're a team of innovators fueled by purpose, collaboration, and excellence — and we're looking for someone who wants to play at the highest level.

You'll dig into the details, catch what's off before it becomes a problem, and use AI and automation to take the manual grind off your plate so you can spend more time on the work that actually needs a sharp eye. This is a role for someone who wants ownership over their piece of the books, not a checklist to clear.

Salary Range:
- US: $90,000-$105,000 per year.
