You Will

Deliver self-service analytical products and reporting dashboards to recruiters and business leaders to enable data-driven operational decisions.
Leverage and contribute to the core data models owned by People Analytics, ensuring the underlying data logic is understood, accurately represented, and efficiently utilized in all downstream products.
Partner with stakeholders to define key recruiting metrics and develop KPI dashboards that drive operational excellence across time-to-hire, sourcing effectiveness, and recruiter performance.
Serve as a trusted advisor to Talent Acquisition leadership by translating complex cross-functional data into clear, compelling narratives and actionable strategic recommendations.
Conduct in-depth analytical deep dives and scientific inquiry focused on optimizing operational processes, such as resource planning, funnel efficiency, and forecasting hiring needs.
Drive the adoption of new visualization and analytics tools (e.g., Hex) by training and enabling recruiters and leaders to effectively leverage the data products you build.

You Have

5+ years of professional experience in a Data Analyst, People Analytics, or Business Intelligence role, with a strong focus on data visualization and reporting.
