About The Position

Collectors is seeking a hands-on Sr HR Reporting & Analytics Manager to join our HRIS team and enhance our reporting and analytics capabilities across our global organization of 4,000+ employees. This individual contributor role is the primary architect of workforce intelligence, partnering closely with the HRIS leader and key stakeholders across HR, Finance, and Operations to transform Workday data into meaningful, executive-ready insights that shape strategic decisions. The ideal candidate is a technically deep Workday reporting professional who can take complex data and present it in ways that are brief, clear, and immediately actionable. You have a proactive mindset, a passion for self-service enablement, and a growing curiosity about how AI tools can modernize the way HR reporting is built and delivered. You ask "why," iterate on your work, and bring clarity to ambiguous problems. Please note this is a global role. You will partner with HR teams across multiple regions and time zones, which may occasionally require flexibility in meeting scheduling. You’ll report to the Sr. Director of Total Rewards & HRIS and work from our Santa Ana or Jersey City office. Remote or hybrid candidates will also be considered. We believe that there is significant value in in-person collaboration. If you live within a 1 hour commuting distance to one of our offices, you will be required to be onsite most of the time. This will be discussed further as part of the recruiting process.
