• Expertise with scripting in R, Python, Databricks, Snowflake or similar tools.
• Three or more years of working with business teams to design an appropriate model structure and integrate the results into the business process
• Either database query experience or demonstrated experience working with specialists to retrieve and transform data
• Experience with working on datasets related to HR, such as employee demographics, performance, compensation, and engagement data is a plus.
• Knowledge of HR policies, procedures, and practices, and their impact on business outcomes is a plus.
