Senior Analyst, People & Culture

Fingerpaint Group

11d

About The Position

We are seeking a highly analytical and naturally curious Senior Analyst to join our People & Culture team. This individual will turn workforce data into clear, actionable insight for leaders—building and maintaining dashboards, automating our HRIS, and safeguarding data quality across the function. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a critical thinker who is equally comfortable in a pivot table, a slide deck, and an AI tool, and who is energized by finding smarter, more scalable ways to work.

Requirements

3+ years’ experience in an HR, People Analytics, or analytics-focused role
Advanced Excel skills (complex formulas, pivot tables, data modeling)
Strong PowerPoint skills with the ability to present data clearly and compellingly
Hands-on experience with HRIS systems (Rippling strongly preferred)
Demonstrated experience with and genuine interest in AI tools (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, native AI software, etc.)
Analytical Rigor & Critical Thinking: Interrogates the data behind the numbers, questions assumptions, and draws sound, defensible conclusions rather than accepting outputs at face value.
Data Storytelling & Presentation: Translates complex analyses into clear, compelling dashboards and presentations that drive leadership decisions.
Data Quality & Diligence: Treats data accuracy as non-negotiable, catching discrepancies early and maintaining trustworthy, audit-ready records.
Automation & Efficiency Mindset: Instinctively looks for ways to streamline, scale, and automate recurring work instead of repeating manual effort.
Curiosity: naturally curious and self-directed, enjoys exploring new tools and ways of working, and comfortable with change as business needs evolve
Collaboration & Team Orientation: Works well across the broader People & Culture team, sharing knowledge and supporting teammates to deliver as a unit.

Responsibilities

Run employee reports & dashboards, synthesize findings into clear takeaways, and recommend concrete action steps for stakeholders.
Produce attrition/retention, headcount, and workforce-planning analyses to support strategic decisions.
Maintain data integrity within our HRIS and build automations, workflows, and integrations that reduce manual effort.
Support an HRIS implementation to Rippling.
Proactively streamline P&C workflows using HRIS capabilities, formulas, scripts, Airtable, and AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini) to eliminate manual effort and scale operations.
Maintain documentation of workflows so work is repeatable.
Support survey design, deployment, and analysis, translating results into themes and recommendations.
Assist with the annual compensation cycle including data preparation, modeling, benchmarking support, and analysis.
Run regular audits and reconciliations to ensure accuracy and a single source of truth across data sources.
Support compliance and mandated reporting (e.g., EEO-1) and maintain audit-ready records.
Partner with Business Leaders, Finance, Operations on staffing data & analysis.
Provide data oversight and quality reviews for the People Operations team.
