Senior People Analytics and Systems Manager
San Jose, California, United States
Archer is an aerospace company based in San Jose, California building an all‑electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft with a mission to advance the benefits of sustainable air mobility. We are designing, manufacturing, and operating an all‑electric aircraft that can carry four passengers while producing minimal noise.
Our sights are set high and our problems are hard, and we believe that diversity in the workplace is what makes us smarter, drives better insights, and will ultimately lift us all to success. We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members.
The Senior People Analytics and Systems Manager will serve as a strategic and hands‑on leader, driving how Archer uses data and systems to make workforce decisions that power our growth. You’ll partner closely with People, HRIS, Finance, and Business leaders to identify opportunities, anticipate trends, and translate insights into action.
You’ll inherit a strong analytics foundation, working alongside an experienced team member who has already established key reporting and systems processes. Your role is to elevate and scale, not to build from scratch, by bringing strong business acumen, systems expertise, and strategic leadership that ties people data directly to organizational outcomes.
This role requires someone who can see the big picture, understand systems end‑to‑end, and roll up their sleeves in a fast‑paced and ambiguous environment.
What You’ll Do:
Lead and enhance Archer’s People Analytics strategy, with a strong focus on HR systems integration, data structure, and scalability.
Partner with our HRIS and People Operations teams to optimize Workday configurations, reporting, and data flows across the employee lifecycle.
Drive the design and maintenance of executive‑level dashboards that bring together data from Workday, ATS, engagement platforms, and other systems.
Ensure data governance, quality, and consistency across all People systems and analytics tools.
Translate complex data into clear, compelling business insights that help senior leaders make informed decisions.
Collaborate with Finance, HRBPs, and Talent Acquisition on headcount planning, organizational design, and workforce forecasting.
Coach and partner with the existing analytics team member to scale capabilities, automation, and insights across the People function.
Operate as a player‑coach, comfortable toggling between strategy, systems, and hands‑on analytics.
What You Need:
8+ years in People Analytics, HRIS, Workforce Planning, or HR Strategy, with meaningful experience working directly with HR systems.
Deep expertise in HRIS platforms (Workday strongly preferred) — including reporting, data structures, dashboards, and data governance.
Strong technical skills with analytics tools such as Visier, Tableau, Power BI, or comparable platforms.
Strong business acumen and proven ability to connect people data to organizational performance and strategy.
Experience influencing and partnering with senior leaders, translating data into clear decisions.
Demonstrated success working in fast‑paced, evolving environments where structure is still being built.
A hands‑on, player‑coach leadership style that balances vision with execution.
Benefits and Compensation Base salary range: $133,440 – $166,800. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience.
Equal Opportunity Employer Archer is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace. All aspects of employment are decided on the basis of merit, qualifications, and business needs.
