Overview
We are seeking an exceptional Principal People Data & Analytics Specialist with deep expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to advance our data-driven decision-making capabilities across the enterprise. In this highly impactful individual contributor role, you will design, develop, and implement AI-powered analytics solutions that drive insights into the employee lifecycle, workforce trends, and organizational health.
You will work hands-on with advanced analytics methods, translating complex data into compelling narratives that influence leaders and shape talent strategies.
What you'll bring
- 8+ years of experience in people data, workforce analytics, or related advanced analytics roles.
- Demonstrated expertise in AI and ML, including practical implementation of algorithms and models in production environments.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or R, with strong experience in data wrangling, modeling, and visualization.
- Strong applied experience with predictive analytics, NLP, and sentiment analysis techniques.
- Ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and deliver impactful outcomes.
- Exceptional storytelling and communication skills to convey technical findings to non-technical audiences.
- Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
What Makes This Role Unique
- Principal-level influence without people management — you will be a hands-on expert shaping enterprise analytics strategy.
- Opportunity to push the boundaries of AI and ML applications in HR.
- Direct line of impact on employee experience, talent outcomes, and organizational performance.
While priorities shift based on business needs, a typical day might include:
- Morning – Review updates to active AI/ML models and dashboards, investigate anomalies in predictive analytics outputs, and respond to questions from HR and business stakeholders about data insights.
- Late Morning – Conduct exploratory data analysis for a new project, such as predicting skill gaps for critical roles or modeling attrition risk in a specific business unit.
- Midday – Join a working session with cross-functional partners to refine model requirements or define data sources for an upcoming AI-powered engagement analysis.
- Afternoon – Build or refine a machine learning pipeline in Python or R, train/test models, and validate their performance against real-world datasets.
- Late Afternoon – Prepare a compelling visualization or narrative to present findings to leadership, ensuring technical results are translated into clear business implications.
- End of Day – Research new AI techniques or tools (e.g., transformer models for sentiment analysis) and consider how they could be applied to future people analytics projects.
AI/ML Analytics Development
- Design, build, and deploy predictive and prescriptive models to optimize talent acquisition, performance management, engagement, and retention.
- Implement machine learning algorithms to forecast workforce trends (e.g., attrition, career velocity, skill evolution).
- Develop and operationalize natural language processing (NLP) solutions for sentiment analysis of employee feedback, surveys, and communications.
- Identify and integrate AI-driven tools that can be embedded into core People & Places platforms.
- Translate technical analyses into clear, actionable insights for leaders across the organization.
- Build data visualizations and dashboards that make complex analytics approachable and compelling.
- Partner with People & Places stakeholders to ensure solutions align with business priorities.
- Work closely with P&P, business leaders, and technology partners to define analytical requirements.
- Collaborate with other analytics teams to share best practices, methods, and tools.
- Act as an AI/ML subject matter expert for people analytics initiatives.
- Stay ahead of emerging AI, ML, and advanced analytics trends relevant to P&P and organizational science.
- Evaluate and pilot new technologies, frameworks, and algorithms to enhance insights.
