What is The Role

This is a hands-on build role that will develop and maintain HR's data pipelines on our GCP/BigQuery/dbt data model, with an AI-powered analytics layer on top. Core platform infrastructure is provisioned centrally; you'll help configure HR-specific pipelines and dbt modeling work on top of it, in partnership with our data scientist, and stand up recruiting reporting and insights as the first production use case on the new stack. This role reports directly to the Director of HR Analytics, with high visibility into architecture and stakeholder-facing decisions from day one. Your mission is to move the organization away from manual reporting and toward a mature, self-service environment where senior stakeholders get decision-ready answers, not just data.

Build and Deploy Scalable Analytics

Build and maintain data pipelines in BigQuery/dbt, on infrastructure provisioned by the central data platform team, that link HR data across the employee lifecycle (Workday, Greenhouse, Qualtrics, ServiceNow), so we can trace how hiring decisions affect long-term engagement and retention. Support and enhance the AI-powered analytics user experience. Develop scalable, self-service dashboards that reduce time spent on reactive, one-off data requests. Implement data governance practices (access controls, validation, documentation) in line with team standards for sensitive HR and compensation data. Build data proficiency across the broader HR team as part of the shift to self-service.

Recruiting Reporting and Insight Engine

Automate recurring recruiting reports to eliminate manual data wrangling. Translate talent data into insights that identify pipeline bottlenecks, improve candidate experience, and improve hiring efficiency. Monitor recruiting data for anomalies and build validation checks to establish one version of the truth across systems.
