Where People, Data & Technology Come Together

The future of HR is increasingly powered by data, technology, and smarter ways of working. EANE is looking for a Data Analyst – Digital Transformation who wants to be part of that future.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, learning new technology, solving problems, and improving how work gets done. You’ll gain exposure across multiple areas of HR—including compensation, benefits, payroll, HR technology, recruiting, compliance, AI, and process improvement—while helping EANE deliver innovative solutions to employers across the Northeast.

What You’ll Do

You’ll work alongside experienced HR professionals and consultants to:

• Manage the details that make great analytics possible—including data entry, collection, cleansing, validation, organization, and ongoing data integrity.
• Turn HR data into useful insights through dashboards, reporting, compensation benchmarking, workforce analytics, and trend analysis.
• Support HR technology solutions, including HRIS, payroll and HCM implementations, testing, data migration, configuration, and optimization.
• Explore AI, automation and emerging technology to help EANE and our members work smarter.
• Improve processes by identifying inefficiencies and helping design more scalable, consistent, and technology-enabled ways of working.
• Support internal operations and administration by maintaining accurate information, coordinating processes, developing documentation and tools, and helping ensure day-to-day HR Services workflows run smoothly.
• Support HR consulting and recruiting with analytics, tools, reporting, administrative support, and technology-enabled solutions.
• Connect people and technology, translating real HR and business needs into practical solutions.

These responsibilities align particularly well with the position's emphasis on data integrity, process documentation, standardized workflows, scalable tools, and operational improvements.

Who Will Thrive Here?

We’re looking for someone who is curious, analytical, detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and eager to learn. You enjoy getting into the details of a dataset just as much as stepping back to ask, “What is this telling us—and how can we make this better?”

You’re also someone who looks for a better way. You’re energized by innovation and continuous improvement, comfortable questioning an existing process, and interested in exploring how technology, AI, automation, and better processes can make work simpler, smarter, and more effective.

At the same time, you understand that innovation starts with strong execution. You’re willing to dig into the details, maintain accurate data, support administrative processes, document how work gets done, and follow through to make sure new ideas actually work in practice.

Ideally, you’ll bring experience in HR analytics, compensation, payroll, HRIS, workforce analytics, consulting, or business process improvement, along with strong Excel and data skills. Experience with HR technology, AI/automation, or system implementations is a plus.

Build Your Career at the Intersection of People + Technology

This role can be a launching point into a variety of HR specialties. As your skills grow, so can your career—whether your interests lead toward HR technology, people analytics, compensation and total rewards, payroll, HR consulting, AI and automation, or broader HR operations and strategy.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced HR professionals while developing a valuable combination of HR knowledge + data expertise + technology skills.

If you’re excited about where HR is headed—and want to help improve how the work gets done,we’d love to meet you.
