• 2+ years of experience in business intelligence, analytics, reporting, HR systems, or related fields.
• Experience working directly with business customers and translating requirements into reporting solutions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with at least one reporting or BI platform such as Power BI, Tableau, Workday Reporting, Cognos, Business Objects, or similar.
• Experience working with large datasets and performing data validation.

Success in This Role

The successful candidate will:

• Build trust with internal customers through responsive, high-quality support.
• Keep critical workforce reporting processes running smoothly during a period of transition.
• Learn our HR data ecosystem and become productive quickly.
• Effectively balance reporting execution, stakeholder communication, and continuous improvement.
• Help the team identify opportunities to modernize and streamline reporting solutions.

What We're Looking For

We're less concerned with expertise in a specific reporting tool and more interested in finding someone who:

• Is curious and learns new systems quickly.
• Communicates effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Takes ownership and follows through on commitments.
• Enjoys working directly with customers.
