Job description

We are seeking an HR Data Governance Lead to join a growing People Insights & Analytics organization. This is a hands-on role responsible for improving the quality, governance, integration, and reporting readiness of HR data across enterprise HR systems and data environments.

The ideal candidate combines HR data/HRIS expertise with strong SQL, data governance, data mapping, and integration experience. Experience supporting M&A or HR system conversions is particularly valuable.

What You'll Do

• Establish HR data governance standards, data dictionaries, definitions, lineage, and quality controls.
• Profile, map, transform, reconcile, and validate HR data from multiple source systems.
• Support M&A data integration, including acquired-company data assessment, crosswalks, mapping, conversion, and reporting readiness.
• Partner with HRIS, IT, Analytics, Payroll, Benefits, Compensation, and Talent teams to resolve complex data issues.
• Support Oracle HCM / Fusion Analytics data readiness, conversion validation, testing, and reporting.
• Build and maintain SQL-based validation routines, reconciliation processes, lookup tables, and data-quality rules.
• Help ensure governed HR data is ready for enterprise reporting, analytics, and downstream data warehouse environments.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in HR data, HRIS data, People Analytics, data governance, data integration, data warehousing, or HR transformation.
• Strong understanding of HR data structures including employee, job, position, organization, manager hierarchy, compensation, recruiting, payroll/time, and termination data.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with data warehouses or cloud platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Oracle ADW, or similar.
• Experience with data mapping, transformation logic, crosswalks, reconciliation, conversion, and data-quality validation.
• Experience with Oracle HCM, Oracle Fusion Analytics, OTBI, BIP, or similar Oracle environments strongly preferred.
• Experience with M&A integration, HR system implementation, or acquired-company data migration preferred.
• Ability to work directly with complex, incomplete, and inconsistent datasets and turn them into reliable, governed data.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional HR reporting or HRIS support position. The role sits at the intersection of HR data, technology, analytics, governance, and M&A integration.

You will have direct ownership of the underlying data foundation that enables HR reporting and analytics across a rapidly growing organization and its acquired businesses.

Best fit: Someone who has been hands-on with HR data + SQL + data governance/integration, rather than someone whose experience is primarily dashboard development or general HRIS administration.
