How you can help make a better world of work

The People Science Analyst (PSA) role entails being a thought leader in the HR analytics space, providing our clients advanced insights on the relationships between employee experience and organizational outcomes. The PSA will compile data across our varied clients and conduct a wide array of statistical analyses to answer unique questions for our clients and to identify employee feedback trends of interest to our People Geek Community. The PSA will partner with our customer-facing People Scientists and Marketing departments to develop research questions, design studies, and draft insight reports for clients and the general public. The PSA will have the opportunity to bridge research methods in psychology, economics, and business to provide meaningful understanding of how concepts like employee engagement and wellbeing influence organizational outcomes such as turnover, sales performance, and customer satisfaction. Our ideal candidates will be able to present statistical methodology and results in personable and engaging ways that align with both the academic and applied study of today’s workforce.

Your greatest skill is being able to listen and understand our customers’ needs and provide clarity around statistical methodology and reporting. You love people and your passion lies in diving into data to uncover stories and provide insights, as well as imparting knowledge to upskill customers and coworkers. We are looking for a hungry, energetic, dedicated professional to work with a close-knit customer team focused on empowering clients ranging in size from tens to tens of thousands of employees.

This position is for a mid- to senior-level role with no direct reports.

You will

  • Develop methodologies for systematically combining and exploring the data from our growing pool of clients while maintaining participant privacy
  • Generate actionable and predictive insights from HR data sets, including engagement surveys, lifecycle surveys (onboarding to exit), individual/team effectiveness feedback, and performance evaluations
  • Collaborate with customer-facing People Scientists and Marketing professionals as well as product-based Data Scientists to design and implement advanced HR analytics projects for clients and to expand Culture Amp’s brand as an HR analytics thought leader

  • Support and build domain expertise for our customer-facing teams through coaching and training
  • Contribute to improving internal processes and culture within Culture Amp
  • Contribute to internal and external thought leadership on HR issues in a variety of industries
  • Present results of ongoing research stream to HR leaders, executive teams, and prospective Culture Amp clients
  • Experience working in a high growth, global SaaS company and in HR Tech preferred

You have

  • 5-7 years of applied experience connecting employee survey (candidate, onboarding, engagement, DEI, exit) results, performance data, and/or 360-type feedback processes with business outcomes (e.g., turnover, customer satisfaction, performance, revenue)
  • Extensive experience cleaning and combining varied applied datasets for statistical analysis
  • Expert knowledge of statistics and experience using statistical packages such as R; experience with predictive analytics techniques preferred
  • Experience creating results reports, articles, and presentations for executives and HR leaders or media outlets
  • Strong presentation skills especially when explaining data and connecting it to potential actions
  • Proficiency in the usual software tools (i.e. Microsoft Office Suite, Keynote, Google docs) as well as a willingness to learn and work with new technology systems.

After six months you will…

  • Manage and execute people analytics projects from start to finish for clients, from scoping research questions to delivering results presentations
  • Work cross-functionally to shape our thought leadership research strategy
  • Guide our customer-facing People Scientists in developing and implementing customer-specific studies
  • Attend and present at a variety of events where we interact with our community – including People Geekup webinars, masterclasses, conferences, etc.
  • Develop thought leadership content for our blog, newsletters, and social media
