In this role, you will play a key part in using our people data to develop the insights and narratives that HR and business leaders rely on to make decisions.

This is a high-visibility role working closely with the team lead and other HR leaders.

• Conduct and support analyses on a broad range of people data topics, such as attrition, recruiting pipeline effectiveness, performance, promotions, and organizational design
• Translate complex findings into clear narratives and compelling visualizations that help leaders understand and act on the data
• Take vague or open-ended questions and turn them into structured analyses, working through ambiguity to identify what data are needed and arrive at actionable answers
• Build, maintain, and improve recurring reports and dashboards serving HR leadership and key business-side partners
• Contribute to the design, execution, and analysis of employee surveys
• Collaborate cross-functionally with partners such as Compensation, Finance, Recruiting, and HR Business Partners to support analytical needs and strategic projects
• Perform recurring data quality audits and support the team's data governance practices, recognizing that the credibility of our analyses rests on the integrity of the underlying data

• Meticulous attention to detail, good judgment, and a dedication to accuracy and discretion; our findings reach senior audiences and involve sensitive data, so getting things right matters deeply
• A collaborative working style, demonstrating skill in partnering effectively across functions and building trust with colleagues at varying levels of seniority and technical acuity
• Comfort with ambiguity and a structured approach to working through unstructured challenges
• The ability to manage competing priorities and deliver consistently across multiple concurrent workstreams
• Additional skills we value, though not required:
• Proficiency with Tableau or comparable visualization platforms
• Fluency with statistical concepts and methods (e.g., correlation, regression, significance testing)
• Familiarity with SQL, Google BigQuery, or similar tools for directly querying data warehouses and building reporting views

You will enjoy the following benefits:

• Core Benefits: Fully paid medical and dental insurance premiums for employees and dependents, competitive 401k match, employer-paid life & disability insurance
