Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California building an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a mission to advance the benefits of sustainable air mobility. We are designing, manufacturing, and operating an all-electric aircraft that can carry four passengers while producing minimal noise.

Our sights are set high and our problems are hard, and we believe that diversity in the workplace is what makes us smarter, drives better insights, and will ultimately lift us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members.

Archer is looking for a People Data Analytics & Systems Analyst to optimize our people data, HR systems, and analytics workflows. This role is hands‑on and high impact: you’ll combine data from multiple sources, build dashboards and insights, and help the People team make smarter workforce decisions.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain people data infrastructure: Organize, clean, and integrate structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, proactively identifying opportunities to improve data quality and reliability.
• Drive workforce insights and forecasting: Partner with Finance and People Operations teams to design and manage headcount tracking processes, enabling accurate workforce forecasts and strategic planning.
• Own HR systems and tools: Lead, evaluate, and optimize all People-related systems (e.g., Workday), ensuring workflows and reporting enable the team to operate efficiently and effectively.
• Turn data into action: Apply quantitative expertise to develop compelling dashboards, reports, and visualizations that provide clear, actionable insights for leadership and stakeholders.
• Be hands‑on and innovative: Execute current analytics deliverables while continuously improving processes, identifying automation opportunities, and implementing scalable solutions.
• Collaborate across teams: Support other People programs and ad hoc requests, bringing both strategic thinking and a willingness to roll up your sleeves to solve problems.
• Balance scrappy and structured approaches: Bring experience from startups where you’ve built things from the ground up, as well as insights from more established companies where processes, systems, and reporting are mature.

What you need:

• 5+ years of experience supporting People Data Analytics
• Strong understanding of People data and the employee lifecycle processes (talent acquisition, talent development, workforce planning, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), engagement, employee listening, learning and development etc.)
• Experience in data visualization tools
• Experience translating analytic insights into actionable recommendations for Archer’s People team and broader leadership team
• Strong organizational skills, and attention to detail, and integrity in handling confidential and sensitive information
• Excels in problem solving, critical thinking, and systems thinking
• Strong writer and verbal communicator to internal and external audiences, with proven ability to influence and communicate effectively
• Self-starter and fast learner, especially in ambiguity; you’ll need to define your own role at times and fill in gaps wherever needed

• Project Management certification
• Proficient with Greenhouse, Tableau, PowerBi, and various People Systems
