Summary Generated by Built In

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

  • Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
  • What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
  • It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION 

Serve as the analytics backbone for our People team — turning people data into clear, confident decisions. 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. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

Partner with People Business Partners 

  • Serve as the primary analytics resource for People Business Partners (PBPs), helping them answer workforce questions quickly and accurately. 
  • Translate business questions from PBPs and leadership into clearly scoped data requests and analytical projects. 
  • Proactively surface trends, risks, and opportunities in people data before they're asked for. 
  • Communicate findings in plain language — through presentations, written summaries, and one-on-one consultations. 

Own People Data Integrity 

  • Take end-to-end ownership of the accuracy and completeness of people data across People systems (HRIS, performance tools, engagement platforms). 
  • Design and implement data quality checks, audit processes, and reconciliation routines to catch and correct errors. 
  • Establish and enforce data entry standards and governance protocols across People workflows. 
  • Partner with IT and People Ops to diagnose and resolve upstream data issues in pipelines and integrations. 
  • Maintain clear documentation of data definitions, sources, logic, and known limitations. 

Build Reporting & Dashboards 

  • Design and maintain core People dashboards covering headcount, attrition, DEI metrics, compensation, and engagement. 
  • Automate recurring reports so PBPs spend less time pulling data and more time acting on it. 
  • Fulfill ad hoc data requests — from quick lookups to multi-variable analyses — with speed and accuracy. 
  • Create self-serve data products that empower PBPs and managers to answer their own questions. 

Drive Analytics & Insight 

  • Apply descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analysis to support strategic People initiatives (e.g., retention risk, hiring forecasting, workforce planning). 
  • Support survey design and analysis — engagement, exit, onboarding, and pulse surveys. 
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of People programs using data and help quantify their business impact. 
  • Stay current on People analytics best practices and bring new methods to the team as we scale. 

Required 

  • 3–5 years of experience in HR analytics, people analytics, or a closely related data role. 
  • Proficiency in SQL and at least one BI/visualization tool (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker). 
  • Hands-on experience with an HRIS platform (e.g., Workday, BambooHR, Rippling, UKG) and familiarity with its data structures. 
  • Demonstrated ability to own data quality — not just report on data, but actively improve it. 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present complex analysis to non-technical audiences. 
  • Highly organized, with a track record of managing multiple requests and deadlines in a fast-paced environment. 

Nice to Have 

  • Experience with Python or R for analysis and automation. 
  • Familiarity with HR tech integrations and data pipelines (e.g., Power Automate). 
  • Background in survey design, I/O psychology, or organizational effectiveness. 

COMPENSATION 

  • Base Salary: $85k - $125k 
  • Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education and experience. 

 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 

  • Work Location: Long Beach, CA or Centennial, CO 
  • Travel: Occasional travel to Colorado Springs and/or Long Beach 
  • Work environment is in a standard office, working at a desk or in a production factory
