About the role

We’re looking for an early to mid career Analyst to support our Senior People Analytics Partner.

Your Responsibilities:

Support Sr. People Analytics Partner on data gathering, reporting and analysis needs for Executive Business Reviews and ad-hoc deep dives.

Work with cross-functional stakeholders (People Systems, Finance, Data Platform, Recruiting Operations and more) to prepare, validate, and document datasets used for People reporting.

Help build and scale recurring reporting based on existing frameworks and stakeholder feedback.

Partner with data warehouse engineering and data stakeholders to improve accuracy, freshness, lineage, and robustness of core People datasets.

Develop ad hoc data pipelines and rigorous data validations to support high-stakes executive reporting and deep-dive analyses.

We’re Seeking:

3 - 5 years in an analytics role (data analysis, data engineering, business intelligence, consulting or similar) at high-growth organization.

High performing and highly dependable, comfortable operating with rigor in a fast-paced environment, with strong attention to detail.

Strong SQL expertise. You will write production queries, build ad-hoc ETLs and conduct data validations as needed.

Comfortable cleaning, joining, and validating multi-source datasets and communicating data limitations.

Proven ability to automate data collection, transformation, and reporting to support scalable, self-service analytics.

Excellent written and verbal communication; experience preparing slide-ready charts/tables for leadership audiences.

Demonstrated ability to partner with non-technical stakeholders and translate business questions into data requirements.

Prior experience with HRIS/ATS/payroll data is a plus but not required.

Workplace & Location

This role is based in our San Francisco office, and we aren’t considering remote applications at this time. We do encourage you to apply even if you prefer a fully remote role as location factors may change over time.

We offer relocation support to new employees, and we use a hybrid model: three days in the office per week with optional work from home on Thursdays and Fridays.

Our open-plan offices have height-adjustable desks, conference rooms, phone booths, well-stocked kitchens full of snacks and drinks, three in-house prepared meals daily, a private outdoor space for working in the sun or socializing, nap rooms, private bike storage, and more.
