Program Analyst – Enterprise Performance Management

We are seeking a contractor to support Enterprise Performance Management initiatives, with a primary focus on execution of the performance management cycle, insights generation, and ongoing process, technology, and data support. 

What This Role Enables:

• Efficient, on-time execution: Performance management cycles delivered smoothly without over-reliance on manual effort or last-minute work. 
• Deeper, more actionable insights: Dedicated capacity to analyze rating trends and provide meaningful takeaways—not just baseline reporting
• Progress on process and tech improvements: Ability to enhance tools, reporting, and data infrastructure while the cycle is underway

Tradeoffs if Not Approved

• Slower, more manual execution: Work still gets done, but with longer timelines, heavier lift, and more reactive coordination
• Reduced insight depth: Focus shifts to producing core outputs vs. analyzing trends and influencing decisions
• Delayed capability building: Limited progress on process improvements, stakeholder engagement, and longer-term process, tech, and data enhancements

Key Responsibilities:

• Support end-to-end execution of the enterprise performance management cycle, including coordination, tracking, and issue resolution.
• Analyze performance rating distributions and trends across business units, roles, and levels to generate actionable insights for HR and leadership
• Partner with HRBPs and COE teams to identify themes, risks, and opportunities in performance outcomes and calibration results
• Support performance management technology and tools (e.g., performance platforms, forms, reporting dashboards), including troubleshooting and optimization
• Build and maintain dashboards, reports, and datasets to support decision-making and executive communications
• Assist in process improvements, documentation, and scaling of performance management practices
• Provide operational support for stakeholder inquiries, data requests, and cycle readiness activities
• Contribute to development of materials for leader communications, training, and enablement

Required Skills:

• Strong knowledge of analytical skills with experience interpreting HR or performance data and identifying trends
• Experience with HR systems, reporting tools, and data visualization (e.g., Excel, Power BI, or similar)
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a time-sensitive, high-visibility environment
• Strong knowledge of attention to detail and process discipline
• Effective communication skills with ability to translate data into clear insights for stakeholders
• Experience supporting enterprise-wide processes or annual cycles (e.g., performance management, talent reviews)
• Comfort working across cross-functional HR teams and engaging with stakeholders at multiple levels
