About the Role
The People Data Analyst plays a critical role on the People Analytics team, focused on transforming People data into actionable insight. This role is responsible for the analysis layer, digging into workforce data, identifying trends, and translating findings into insights that inform decisions across HR and the business. The emphasis is on data manipulation, investigation, and interpretation, not building or maintaining dashboards.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with the People Analytics Lead to fulfill incoming reporting and analysis requests, prioritizing based on business impact and urgency.
- Manipulate and structure large, complex data sets from Workday and related systems to prepare them for analysis.
- Analyze workforce data (headcount, turnover, hiring, tenure, and related trends) to identify patterns and surface meaningful insights.
- Translate data findings into clear, actionable narratives for HR Partners, HR Ops leadership, and business stakeholders.
- Support the build-out of data governance and definitions standards to ensure consistency and accuracy across reporting.
- Collaborate with the People Analytics Lead on the dashboard and reporting framework, providing analytical context and validation.
- Respond to ad hoc data requests, balancing depth of analysis with turnaround expectations.
- Identify data quality issues or gaps and recommend solutions to improve the reliability of workforce reporting.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Demonstrated experience working with large, complex data sets, including cleaning, structuring, and manipulating data for analysis.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to move beyond summarizing data to explaining what it means and why it matters.
- Experience with HRIS or workforce data (Workday experience strongly preferred).
- Proficiency with data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, or similar).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present findings to non-technical audiences.
- Comfortable working independently and prioritizing across multiple concurrent requests.
- Prior experience in HR, People Analytics, or a related analytics function preferred.
Working Conditions
- General work environment – sitting for long periods, standing, walking, typing, carrying, pushing, bending. Work is conducted primarily indoors.
- Noise level is usually low to medium; it can be loud on the jobsite.
- Occasional lifting of up to 30 lbs.
Compensation
$74,400.00 - $97,700.00 Annual
