About The Position

The Senior People Analytics and Systems Manager will serve as a strategic and hands-on leader, driving how Archer uses data and systems to make workforce decisions that power our growth. You'll partner closely with People, HRIS, Finance, and Business leaders to identify opportunities, anticipate trends, and translate insights into action. You'll inherit a strong analytics foundation, working alongside an experienced team member who has already established key reporting and systems processes. Your role is to elevate and scale, not to build from scratch, by bringing strong business acumen, systems expertise, and strategic leadership that ties people data directly to organizational outcomes.

At Archer we aim to attract, retain, and motivate talent that possess the skills and leadership necessary to grow our business.
