About The Position

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the full breadth of our People organization. As a People Team Analyst, you will serve as part of the analytical backbone for our central People functions - including Talent, Organizational Design, Recruiting, People Analytics, and Strategic Workforce Planning - translating strategic questions into clear, data-driven methodology and answers. Each year, you will also play a key role in supporting the CHRO’s annual strategic plan, providing data to ensure our most important people decisions are grounded in rigorous analysis. This role communicates directly with leaders across the People team, helping to define the right questions, then designing the right analyses and communicating back those findings with support from our Leader of Compensation and Workforce Planning. The ideal candidate brings a strong analytical or scientific foundation, the intellectual curiosity to ask “what are we really trying to understand?”, and the communication skills to make that understanding accessible to everyone.

Requirements

• Consultative listening skills to draw out the real question behind a data request and align on what success looks like before the analysis begins.
• Strong analytical reasoning to match the right methodology to the right question, and to know the limits of what the data can and cannot tell us.
• Clear, plain-language communication skills to explain findings to non-technical audiences without oversimplification.
• Storytelling ability to present data in a compelling, structured narrative that leads to a clear recommendation or action.
• Intellectual curiosity and comfort with ambiguity - this role frequently works on questions that don’t yet have a defined answer or a clear path to one.
• Attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy and integrity.
• Organizational and time management skills to handle concurrent requests from multiple stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative or analytically rigorous field such as Mathematics, Natural Science, Statistics, Economics, Psychology (research-focused), Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Data Science, or a related discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in a data analysis or research role; internship or academic research experience will be considered.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (advanced formulas, visualizations, data modeling).
• Basic proficiency in AI tools to enable workflows (LLMs, Agents, etc.)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills - experience presenting findings to stakeholders preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with Power BI or other data visualization tools preferred.
• Experience with HRIS systems, especially Workday, is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Partner with leaders across People functions to understand their analytical needs, clarify the core business question being asked, and determine what data and methodology is required to answer it.
• Design and conduct analyses - primarily using Excel and Power BI - that address workforce and organizational questions related to talent, recruiting, org design, workforce planning, and broader people strategy.
• Support the CHRO’s annual strategic planning process by compiling, analyzing, and synthesizing people data into insights that inform enterprise-level decisions.
• Translate analytical findings into plain-language narratives and clear visualizations.
• Identify the right analysis and the right question with guidance and support; advise stakeholders on what conclusions the data can and cannot support.
• Ensure data accuracy by cleaning, validating, and preprocessing data from HRIS and other people systems.
• Maintain recurring reports, dashboards, and metrics that track key workforce indicators across the People team’s areas of responsibility.
