About The Role

The Senior Data Analyst, will play a critical role in shaping how HR Data & Analytics uses data to drive decision-making, strategic planning, and operational excellence. This role blends strong analytical capabilities, technical skills, HR systems knowledge, and cross-functional collaboration. The Senior Data Analyst will deliver high‑quality dashboards, robust data models, governed datasets, and automated reporting solutions across HR, partnering closely with Data Engineers, HRIS teams, and business stakeholders to create scalable, reliable analytics products.
