Turn data into decisions the business actually makes

Klaviyo moves fast, and the decisions our leaders and stakeholders make about comp, hiring, performance, retention, org design, engagement, and culture are only as good as the data behind them.

We're hiring a Lead People Analytics Partner to make sure great data actually shows up — not as a report that lands six weeks too late, but as a partner in the room helping leaders make the call. This role is central to how we build and listen to functions that thrive, providing leaders with key signals that drive top performance and retention of our best Klaviyos.

Four things you'll help drive

• Strategic partnership — be the HRBP of data
• Employee listening and workforce signal — know why people stay, and what opportunities we have for improvement
• Storytelling with data — insight, not just information
• Scalable, self-serve insights — build the foundation

Everything else that doesn't fit in four boxes

• Comp & Performance cycle support — performance, merit, equity refreshes, and pay equity analysis alongside Total Rewards and Talent & Learning.
• Workforce and headcount planning — modeling scenarios to drive healthy org design.
• Working closely with our data engineering team to continuously build out our Snowflake data warehouse.
• Data governance — keeping sensitive people data accurate, secure, and used responsibly.
• Special projects — the “just for this” asks from senior leadership that don't fit a template.

What you bring

Non-negotiables

• 8+ years in people analytics, HR analytics, or a related analytics function, ideally at a high-growth tech company, with broad or unique expertise in the space.
• Ability to draft people data narratives to drive conversation and influence at the senior leadership level
• Strong SQL skills and fluency with a BI/dashboarding tool (Tableau, or similar).
• A track record of solving complex, ambiguous problems without much guidance and with raw data, and exercising independent judgment on how to get there.
• A track record of turning data into a narrative that changed a real business decision — not just a report that got read.
• Experience building self-serve tools or processes that reduced reliance on a central team.
• Comfort building and coordinating formal networks across HRBPs, TA, Total Rewards, People Tech, and senior business leaders.
• Experience designing and running employee listening programs (engagement surveys, pulse surveys, exit interviews) and turning results into action, not just a readout.
• Experience analyzing quality of hire and retention/attrition drivers, including why employees choose to leave.

Strong Signals

• Experience applying AI tools to automate reporting or surface insights at scale.
• A bias toward influence over output — you'd rather change a decision than ship a dashboard.
• Comfort operating against defined outcomes with milestone check-ins, rather than close day-to-day direction.

What you'll find here

• A team that treats analytics as a strategic function, not a service desk.
• Real access to HRBPs, TA, Total Rewards, and business leaders — not gatekept relationships.
• A mandate to build the self-serve foundation your way, with the tools (AI included) to do it.
• Autonomy: you're measured on outcomes at key milestones, not managed day-to-day.
• A leader who wants a thought partner, not an order-taker.
