Job summary

LaunchDarkly is seeking a People Systems, Analytics and AI Manager to own HR systems, turn data into insights, and use AI tooling to create faster, clearer narratives for business leaders.

You will design reports on headcount, hiring, retention, and engagement; partner with People Operations and Finance; and govern data privacy and security across systems. This role operates in a distributed team environment across time zones.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of related experience in HR systems, People analytics, or HR operations, with hands-on ownership of reporting and dashboards in a technology or high-growth environment.
• Expert-level knowledge of at least one major HRIS (for example, Workday, Rippling) including report writing, calculated fields, and security configuration.
• Strong proficiency with analytics and visualization tools (SQL, Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar) and advanced spreadsheet skills.
• Demonstrated fluency with AI tooling to analyze data, generate insights, and build visualizations and narratives, with sound judgment about accuracy and appropriate use.
• Ability to translate business questions into metrics and communicate findings clearly to non-technical leaders.
• Strong understanding of data integrity, privacy, and confidentiality practices for employee data.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders independently and deliver on time with attention to detail.
• Curious, pragmatic problem solver who enjoys simplifying complex processes and data.
• Comfortable working with a highly distributed team across time zones.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the subject matter expert for our HR systems (HRIS, applicant tracking, performance, compensation, and learning platforms), including configuration, data integrity, security roles, integrations, and release management.
• Design, build, and maintain reports, dashboards, and analytics on headcount, hiring, retention, engagement, compensation, and workforce planning that leaders use to make decisions.
• Partner with People, Finance, and business leaders to translate questions into clear metrics, definitions, and analyses, and to recommend actions based on what the data shows.
• Use AI tools to accelerate analysis and create compelling data stories and visualizations, including automated insights, natural-language summaries, and executive-ready narratives.
• Establish and govern People data standards: metric definitions, data quality checks, documentation, and a single source of truth across systems.
• Protect employee data by applying privacy, confidentiality, and access controls, and by partnering with Legal and Security on responsible use of AI with People data.
• Own the intake, prioritization, and delivery of system and reporting requests, balancing quick turnarounds with scalable, self-service solutions.
• Automate recurring reports and manual workflows to reduce effort and errors, and identify new opportunities where systems and AI can improve the employee and manager experience.
• Support system projects such as new module rollouts, integrations, data migrations, and annual cycles (performance, compensation, and engagement), including testing, training, and documentation.
• Enable People Operations teammates and managers through training, office hours, and clear guides so they can use data and tools with confidence.
• Stay current on HR technology, analytics, and AI trends, and bring practical recommendations to the Director, People Programs, Systems and Analytics.
