The HR Analytics and Reporting Specialist will play a pivotal role on our HR Reporting and Analytics team as we support HR reporting needs while evolving the function to increasingly focus on advanced analytics projects.

The successful candidate will organize data from multiple corporate systems, test hypotheses, conduct analyses, draw conclusions, and make and communicate recommendations that HR and business leaders will use to make critical talent-related decisions every day. At the same time, the position will play a critical role in building out a reporting infrastructure that is increasingly robust, cross-functional, and broadly targeted.

The ideal candidate will possess a high degree of technical acumen, as well as a strong ability to communicate complex data in a digestible way for senior-level stakeholders. They are self-motivated and work well individually, as well as a great colleague who appreciates the value of working with colleagues to achieve complex goals. Most importantly, they are highly motivated to contribute to and grow with an organization with lofty ambitions.
