Maintain high standards of data quality, privacy, and governance when working with sensitive employee information
Who You Are:
6+ years of experience in people analytics, go-to-market or sales analytics, or a related quantitative role
Strong analytical skills with proficiency in SQL and Google Sheets, and experience working with BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Metabase, Looker); proficiency in Python a plus
Familiarity with people systems and data sources (e.g., ATS, HRIS, LMS, Survey Platforms), as well as metrics throughout the employee lifecycle
A sharp, credible partner to senior leaders, able to clearly surface people analytics needs and translate complex analyses into insights that drive decisions and behavior change
A naturally curious, analytical mindset with a drive to uncover the “why” behind the data
Ability to maintain privacy, maturity and discretion while handling sensitive data
