This role partners directly with People Business Partners (PBPs) to deliver the insights, dashboards, and data integrity they need to support a fast-moving, growing organization. It's a hands-on, build-it-from-the-ground-up role — not a maintenance position — suited for someone with 3–5 years of HR analytics experience who can operate with autonomy, earn trust quickly, and bring structure to ambiguity. You'll own the quality of our people data end-to-end, while also being the go-to analytical resource for People across the business.
