Fast-forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision‑making.

As a Senior Manager, on the People Strategy and Analytics (PS&A) team, you will head a high‑performing team of analysts focused on high‑impact talent acquisition initiatives, international strategy, and broad organizational mandates. In this critical role, you will drive data democratization and robust self‑service capabilities through advanced reporting and analytics.

• Diagnosing complex data integrity and technical pipeline challenges, mitigating systemic workforce data risks while uncovering hidden operational opportunities.
• Researching, identifying, and prototyping next‑generation AI and automation tools to keep our data and analytics infrastructure at the cutting edge.
• Translating complex technical findings and analytics into clear, concise narratives, executive presentations, and data‑driven recommendations for senior leadership.
