The Role
This is a hands-on build role that will develop and maintain HR's data pipelines on our
GCP/BigQuery/dbt data model, with an AI-powered analytics layer on top. Core platform
infrastructure is provisioned centrally; you'll help configure HR-specific pipelines and
dbt modeling work on top of it, in partnership with our data scientist, and stand up recruiting
reporting and insights as the first production use case on the new stack. This role reports
directly to the Director of HR Analytics, with high visibility into architecture and
stakeholder-facing decisions from day one.
Your mission is to move the organization away from manual reporting and toward a mature,
self-service environment where senior stakeholders get decision-ready answers, not just data.
What You Will Be Doing
Build and Deploy Scalable Analytics

Build and maintain data pipelines in BigQuery/dbt, on infrastructure provisioned by the central
data platform team, that link HR data across the employee lifecycle (Workday, Greenhouse,
Qualtrics, ServiceNow), so we can trace how hiring decisions affect long-term engagement and
retention.
Support and enhance the AI-powered analytics user experience.
Develop scalable, self-service dashboards that reduce time spent on reactive, one-off data
requests.
Implement data governance practices (access controls, validation, documentation) in line with
team standards for sensitive HR and compensation data.
Build data proficiency across the broader HR team as part of the shift to self-service.

 
Recruiting Reporting and Insight Engine

Automate recurring recruiting reports to eliminate manual data wrangling.
Translate talent data into insights that identify pipeline bottlenecks, improve candidate
experience, and improve hiring efficiency.
Monitor recruiting data for anomalies and build validation checks to establish one version of
the truth across systems.

 
Technical Requirements

2+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines in Google Cloud
Platform (GCP).
Strong SQL and Python skills.
Direct experience extracting and modeling data from at least one major HRIS or ATS platform
(e.g., Workday, Greenhouse) via its reporting or API layer. General dashboard-level reporting
experience is not a substitute.
Demonstrated ability to build custom dashboards and data visualizations using standard BI
platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau) or code-based environments (e.g., Python, Streamlit, Plotly).

What You Bring

Broad understanding of HR programs and metrics across the employee lifecycle, including
recruiting.
Strong storytelling and presentation skills for both VP/executive and non-technical audiences.
Experience working across geographies and time zones, tailoring insights to diverse audiences.
A point of view on AI/LLM-based analytics tools and how they simplify insight delivery –
direct experience implementing one is a plus.
A builder's approach: comfortable creating solutions, frameworks, and processes with
limited existing scaffolding, while working within a set architectural direction.
