• Partner with senior business leadership on workforce planning, hiring strategy, and resource allocation – translating business questions into data‑driven answers.
• Evaluate and deploy emerging technologies (e.g., GenAI, AI agents, workflow automation) to enhance HR’s analytical and operational capabilities.

Day‑to‑Day Focus

• Engineer and maintain scalable data solutions that underpin HR reporting and analytics.
• Build and iterate on visualization tools for headcount, workforce expense, hiring, attrition, and other key HR metrics.
• Deliver self‑service analytics reporting to business unit stakeholders on hires, terms, incumbents, workforce events, and other operational data.
• Identify opportunities to improve HR processes through better tooling, automation, and smarter use of available technology and data.
• Stay current on cloud platforms, data engineering practices, and AI/ML capabilities relevant to HR.

What You'll Bring to the Role

• Advanced degree in Computer Science or another quantitative discipline.
• 6+ years of relevant professional experience.

• Strong analytical mindset with ability to synthesize data from multiple sources into clear insights and recommendations.
• Proficient in Python for data analysis, modeling, and automation.
• Experience with data visualization tools.
• Familiarity with automation or workflow platforms (e.g., Power Platform, UiPath) is a plus.
• Strong understanding of data governance, controls, and model validation.
• Strong communicator who can explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Comfort operating across HR domains and partnering with cross‑functional teams in a fast‑paced environment.
