People Data Automation Analyst

About the role

We’re looking for an Analyst to join the People Analytics team as an automation expert. This role is hands-on, technical and analytical: you’ll build reliable datasets, prepare, audit and automate reporting for leadership reviews, and help scale reporting frameworks across the People data stack.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Leverage our engineering stack, be creative and automate manual data analytics and reporting processes.
  • Conduct data gathering, reporting and analysis needs for Executive Business Reviews and ad-hoc deep dives.
  • Own preparation of reporting and slide-ready data exports for Executive Business Reviews.
  • 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 automate 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:

  • 2–4 years in an analytics role (data analysis, data engineering, business intelligence, consulting or similar) at a 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.
  • 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.
  • Strong Python and automation experience is a plus.
  • 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.
