• Experience partnering across people, business and data/analytics organizations, and familiarity with typical people analytics metrics, KPIs and analysis
• SQL: writing complex yet efficient SQL is a daily habit for you
• Data Visualization: experience with any of the following tools Tableau, PowerBI, Looker, Mode, Hex, or of course, Grafana!
• Experience working with people data from various sources/systems, writing dbt models, and code version control (git)
