About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as a go-to, business-facing People Analytics expert for People Team Business Partners, the People Leadership Team, and senior business leaders — tracking against organizational health metrics and people plan objectives, always close to the business and its biggest workforce challenges, with a strong focus on supporting Sales and Go-To-Market (GTM) organizations.
Conduct and deliver ongoing workforce analysis, QBRs, and ad hoc analytics that inform and drive better business decisions.
Lead data storytelling: translate complex people data into clear, compelling narratives and recommendations tailored to executive and leadership audiences
Proactively partner with BPs and leaders on strategic areas of focus (e.g., attrition, hiring, performance, mobility, retention, org design), using data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
Bring curiosity and tenacity to connecting data across disparate people systems — uncovering trends, risks, and opportunities across attrition, hiring, performance, mobility, org health, and more.
Develop rapid 'v0.5' analytical solutions from the front lines, then partner with the broader People Analytics team to scale and productionize them.
Leverage AI tools and automation throughout your workflow — from analysis and reporting to insight generation — while applying your expertise to guide, correct, and elevate AI output.
Use data skills, curiosity and People Analytics expertise to develop scalable SQL modeling, business-facing dashboards, automated reporting and AI solutions.
Drive forward the strategic roadmap of the People Analytics function, including expanding reporting and analytics capabilities, establishing and evolving KPIs, and leading key projects in critical business areas.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience in a people analytics, HR analytics, or workforce analytics role with meaningful exposure to business-facing stakeholders
An endlessly curious analytical mindset — you love connecting data together and seeing what it reveals
SQL proficiency: writing complex, efficient queries is a regular part of your workflow (BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar)
Strong AI skills and genuine interest in using AI tools to improve how you work — you proactively seek AI-driven solutions and apply your domain expertise to guide and validate them
Advanced experience with Excel and/or Google Sheets for analysis, modeling, and quick-turn insights
Experience with data visualization and BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau, Looker; Grafana BI a plus) with an interest in enabling self-service analytics
Experience working with people data from HR systems such as Workday, Greenhouse, LMS platforms, or similar
Strong presentation and storytelling skills — you can translate complex data into clear, compelling insights for non-technical audiences
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you build trust and credibility with HR partners and business leaders
Resilience and adaptability — you thrive under pressure, handle competing priorities without losing quality, and treat ambiguity as a challenge rather than an obstacle
Comfort operating in a growing, evolving analytics function where building, iterating, and scaling are part of the job.
