About the role

We’re looking for an early to mid career Analyst to support our Senior People Analytics Partner. This role is hands-on and analytical: you’ll build reliable datasets, prepare and audit reporting for leadership reviews, and help scale reporting frameworks across the People data stack. You should have a strong analytics background (it doesn’t have to be HR/People domain experience), be comfortable working with data stakeholders across the org, and be excited to learn and grow in the People Analytics domain.

Responsibilities

• Support Sr. People Analytics Partner on data gathering, reporting and analysis needs for Executive Business Reviews and ad-hoc deep dives.
• Own preparation of reporting and slide-ready data exports for Executive Business Reviews.
• Work with cross-functional stakeholders (People Systems, Finance, Data Platform, Recruiting Operations and more) to prepare, validate, and document datasets used for People reporting.
• Help build and scale recurring reporting based on existing frameworks and stakeholder feedback.
• Partner with data warehouse engineering and data stakeholders to improve accuracy, freshness, lineage, and robustness of core People datasets.
• Develop ad hoc data pipelines and rigorous data validations to support high-stakes executive reporting and deep-dive analyses.

Requirements

• 3–5 years in an analytics role (data analysis, data engineering, business intelligence, consulting or similar) at a high-growth organization.
• High performing and highly dependable; comfortable operating with rigor in a fast-paced environment, with strong attention to detail.
• Strong SQL expertise — you will write production queries, build ad-hoc ETLs and conduct data validations as needed.
• Comfortable cleaning, joining, and validating multi-source datasets and communicating data limitations.
• Proven ability to automate data collection, transformation, and reporting to support scalable, self-service analytics.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; experience preparing slide-ready charts/tables for leadership audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to partner with non-technical stakeholders and translate business questions into data requirements.
• Prior experience with HRIS/ATS/payroll data is a plus but not required.

We offer relocation support to new employees, and we use a hybrid model: three days in the office per week with optional work from home on Thursdays and Fridays.

Benefits

• Base pay shown: $170K (base pay may vary depending on market location, knowledge, skills, and experience).
