The Role

Blitzy is looking for a sharp, data-driven HR Analytics Partner to build the people analytics function from the ground up. As our first dedicated HR Analytics hire, you’ll partner closely with our People & Operations and Finance teams to surface workforce insights that directly inform how we hire, develop, and retain the talent powering Blitzy’s growth. This is a high-visibility role for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, strategy, and people—and who wants to shape how a category-defining company thinks about its most critical asset.

What Success Looks Like

• Within 30 days, you’ve audited existing HR data sources, identified gaps, and presented a roadmap for building a scalable people analytics infrastructure.
• Within 90 days, you’ve delivered your first executive-facing workforce dashboard, enabling leadership to make data-backed decisions on headcount, retention, and performance.
• Within 6 months, you’ve established recurring reporting cadences, embedded analytics into key HR processes (recruiting, performance cycles, compensation reviews), and begun building predictive models for attrition and hiring needs.
• You are trusted by the business as the go-to resource for people data—proactively surfacing insights rather than waiting to be asked.

Areas of Ownership

• Design, build, and maintain people analytics dashboards and reports covering headcount, attrition, recruiting funnel, DEI metrics, compensation equity, and engagement.
• Partner with HR Business Partners, Finance, and senior leadership to translate business questions into analytical frameworks and actionable insights.
• Own the integrity and governance of HR data—establishing standards, definitions, and processes to ensure consistency across systems.
• Develop predictive models and scenario analyses to support workforce planning, succession planning, and organizational design decisions.
• Drive the selection, integration, and optimization of HR technology and data tools (HRIS, ATS, engagement platforms).
• Create compelling data storytelling—turning complex analyses into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Monitor industry benchmarks and external talent market data to contextualize internal metrics.

Required Experience

• 4+ years of experience in HR analytics, people analytics, workforce planning, or a related data-focused role.
• Proficiency in SQL and at least one data visualization tool (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or equivalent).
• Experience working with HRIS platforms (e.g., Workday, BambooHR, Rippling) and ATS systems.
• Strong analytical foundation—comfortable building models in Excel/Google Sheets, with exposure to Python or R as a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business questions into structured analyses and clear recommendations.
• Track record of presenting data insights to senior stakeholders and influencing decisions.
• Experience in a fast-growth startup or technology company environment.

What Makes You Stand Out

• You’ve built a people analytics function or dashboard suite from scratch, not just inherited one.
• You have experience with predictive HR analytics—attrition modeling, flight risk scoring, or workforce demand forecasting.
• You bring a consultant’s mindset: you ask the right questions before building the answer.
• You’ve worked in high-growth AI, SaaS, or enterprise tech companies and understand the talent dynamics of scaling technical teams.
• You can move fluidly between deep analytical work and clear executive communication without losing either audience.

What Makes This Role Different

This isn’t a reporting role—it’s a builder role. You’re joining at a moment when Blitzy is scaling fast and the decisions we make about people in the next 12–24 months will define the organization we become. You’ll have a direct line to founders and executive leadership, real influence over how we grow our team, and the rare opportunity to build a people analytics discipline from a clean slate. You’ll also work alongside a team that genuinely believes data and human judgment are complementary—not competing—forces.
