We’re looking for an HR Data Analyst to build advanced reporting and analytics solutions that drive workforce decisions across HR. This person will design dashboards in Micro Strategy and Oracle HCM, perform structured data validation across Oracle, People Soft, and related systems, and deliver insights on workforce trends such as attrition, internal movement, hiring, and retirement risk. The role works closely with HR stakeholders and IT partners to define requirements, enhance data quality, and create scalable BI products that support executives and HR teams.

This position is in the Human Resources (HR) Directorate.

This position offers a full-time off-site work schedule. You will collaborate and contribute through virtual interactions. Occasional on-site presence to meet business needs may be required.

This position will be filled at either level based on knowledge and related experience as assessed by the hiring team. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if hired at the higher level.

• Lead end-to-end development of enterprise workforce analytics products and dashboards (e.g., attrition, internal mobility, retirement risk) from intake and scoping through delivery to Laboratory leadership.
• Build and maintain HR operational and analytical reports in Oracle HCM (OTBI, BI Publisher) and related LAPIS datasets using SQL and subject areas to support TA, Compensation, HRBPs, ER, and other HR functions.
• Own data validation and reconciliation across Oracle, LAPIS, and Micro Strategy, performing structured data quality checks, documenting logic, and partnering with IT to resolve discrepancies.
• Translate ambiguous business questions into clear technical reporting requirements, ensuring alignment with HR stakeholders and system capabilities.
• Proactively identify emerging workforce trends, risks, and opportunities, collaborating with HR and leaders to frame analytic questions that directly support business and workforce decisions.
• Design and evolve user-friendly, scalable BI solutions in tools such as Micro Strategy, Power BI, or Tableau, enabling self-service access to trusted metrics and insights.
• Support system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) during Oracle HCM implementations and releases, validating report outputs and documenting issues.
• Mentor analysts on SQL, analytics, visualization, and data storytelling while promoting consistent analytic methods, documentation, and reproducible practices.
• Collaborate with HR, Legal, Lab leadership, and IT to align on metric definitions, access and security standards, and governance practices that maintain the integrity and trustworthiness of HR data products.
• Manage reporting intake (e.g., Service Now), automate recurring reporting where feasible, and maintain structured documentation of report logic and definitions.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
