- Tool Modernization: Support the transition and optimization of our analytics tech stack (e.g., One Model, Visier) and survey tools (Glint).
- Self-Service: Develop scalable dashboards that increase access to HR data, reducing the time we spend on reactive questions.

- Experience across geographies and time zones, tailoring insights to diverse audiences.
- Curiosity about AI and how it can simplify insight delivery and decision support.
