Summary Generated by Built In

As a Senior Data Analyst, you will join our Financial Planning & Analytics (FP&A) team and partner closely with HR, Finance and Talent Acquisition stakeholders to deliver data analysis and reporting that drives people-related decisions across the organization.
This is a hands-on, technical role. You will spend most of your time building dashboards, writing code, engineering data pipelines, and translating stakeholder requirements into production-ready analytics solutions. You will also serve as a key analytical partner to HR leadership - providing actionable insights on workforce trends, talent acquisition, compensation, employee engagement, and organizational effectiveness. The ideal candidate is a strong data analyst who is equally comfortable working with HR and financial data, can operate independently, and thrives in a fast-paced environment with extensive ad-hoc reporting requirements.
Your Core Responsibilities:

BI Development & Data Engineering
- Design, develop, and maintain dashboards and reports for HR, Talent Acquisition, and FP&A stakeholders using Qlik or similar BI tools (Tableau, Power BI)
- Build and maintain Python-based ETL pipelines to extract, transform, and load data from HRIS, ATS, finance systems, and other internal sources into the analytics database
- Own the full product delivery cycle for analytics solutions: requirements gathering, design, development, testing, and deployment to production
- Extend and optimize the analytics database to support new data sources and evolving reporting needs
- Ensure data quality, consistency, and reliability across all pipelines and reporting assets
- Build and automate reporting workflows to reduce manual effort and improve scalability
HR Reporting & Analytics
- Develop and maintain standard HR metrics and recurring reports covering headcount, attrition, diversity & inclusion, compensation equity, and employee engagement
- Build and support recruitment dashboards to track recruitment-funnel progress, pipeline characteristics, and time-to-fill metrics
- Partner with HR Business Partners (HRBPs) to translate data requests into clear reports and visualizations
- Conduct ad hoc analyses on people data to support HR and business decision-making
- Leverage SQL and Python to query large HR datasets, perform statistical analyses, and develop predictive models (e.g., attrition risk, flight risk scoring)
FP&A & Workforce Planning Support
- Support FTE forecasting and headcount budgeting processes by building and maintaining models and reports in partnership with Finance and HR/Recruitment teams
- Contribute to annual HR planning cycles, including headcount forecasting, workforce cost modeling, and scenario analysis
- Track and manage FTE movement against budget
- Analyze workforce trends to identify patterns and risk areas relevant to financial planning
Stakeholder Partnership & Communication
- Act as a trusted analytical advisor to HR and Finance to understand their needs and proactively surface findings
- Present data, trends, and insights to both technical and non-technical audiences in clear, concise formats
- Collaborate with other BI Developers and Engineers within BP&A to maintain shared data standards, governance practices, and documentation
- Demonstrate curiosity in understanding business context, using that understanding to deliver solutions that balance standardization with practical requirements
