Job Summary

The Role We are seeking a strategic Senior Analyst - Data Analytics to champion our people analytics function and shape data-driven talent decisions. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will design, build, and deploy AI-augmented analytics products that drive workforce effectiveness and organizational performance. You bring deep HR domain fluency, a flair for compelling data storytelling, and proven experience turning complex workforce data into strategies that senior leaders actually act on. You will be a key partner to HRIS, IT, and global business leaders - sitting at the intersection of data engineering, business insight, and AI-powered tooling.

What Youll Do

• Lead the full lifecycle of people analytics projects - from gathering stakeholder requirements to delivering scalable, validated, and actionable insights that guide business and talent strategy.
• Design, build, and deploy executive-ready analytics dashboards by leveraging AI and GenAI tools (including Claude) to rapidly prototype and implement custom web-based solutions - delivering intelligent, self-serve analytics experiences without the constraints of traditional BI platforms.
• Explore, prototype, and deploy AI powered analytics solutions to support workforce planning, attrition prediction, and people insights at scale.
• Partner with HRIS, IT, and business leaders to drive data integrity, governance, and seamless integration across core HR systems (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse), ensuring the analytical foundation is reliable and audit-ready.
• Translate complex data findings into compelling narratives and strategic recommendations for senior leadership and cross-functional teams - making the story behind the numbers as rigorous as the numbers themselves.
• Serve as an internal subject matter expert on HR processes - including talent acquisition, performance, compensation, engagement, and workforce planning - ensuring analytics outputs are grounded in real people strategy, not just data availability.
• Set standards for analytical excellence, promote AI literacy across the People team, and upskill stakeholders on how to interpret and act on AI-generated insights.
• Champion a culture of data-driven inquiry and continuous improvement, proactively identifying new opportunities to apply analytics where it creates the most organizational value.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated, wide-ranging experience in a people or workforce analytics function, with a strong track record of leading complex, end-to-end analytical projects from ambiguous problem to clear business outcome.
• 8+ years of experience in data analytics, paired with a deep understanding of core HR functions - including talent acquisition, workforce planning, total rewards, engagement, and performance management - enabling you to connect data to people strategy without heavy hand-holding from HR partners.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying AI and ML-powered dashboards or analytics tools to support workforce planning, attrition prediction, and people insights at scale.
• Strong technical skills in data modeling and advanced analysis using SQL and Python - comfortable operating at both the strategic and the query level.
• Outstanding communication and executive presence - able to translate complex data into a clear narrative that drives decisions at the senior leadership level.
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders without authority - you turn analytics findings into decisions, not just slide decks.
• A mentoring mindset and the ability to act as a technical subject matter expert, driving high standards for data quality, analytical rigor, and responsible use of AI-generated insights.
