• Engineer and maintain scalable data solutions that underpin HR reporting and analytics.
• Build and iterate on visualization tools for headcount, workforce expense, hiring, attrition, and other key HR metrics.
• Deliver self‑service analytics reporting to business unit stakeholders on hires, terms, incumbents, workforce events, and other operational data.
• Identify opportunities to improve HR processes through better tooling, automation, and smarter use of available technology and data.
• Stay current on cloud platforms, data engineering practices, and AI/ML capabilities relevant to HR.

What You'll Bring to the Role

• Advanced degree in Computer Science or another quantitative discipline.
• 6+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Snowflake, AWS) is an advantage.
• Strong analytical mindset with ability to synthesize data from multiple sources into clear insights and recommendations.
• Proficient in Python for data analysis, modeling, and automation.
• Experience with data visualization tools.
