AI Native HR Data Analyst

WHO YOU ARE:

You are restless when a task shows up for the third time, curious about the story behind a number, and comfortable turning a vague question into something concrete, with AI as a trusted partner but your own judgment as the final check. You want your work to support the people who keep the food supply safe. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Who We Are Leader in food safety solutions for both contract sanitation and chemistry in the food processing industry. Over 10,000 dedicated team members across North America.

Advance a Safer Future: We are committed to innovating more effective, sustainable, and cost-efficient food safety solutions to develop a safer world for all. Job Description This role goes beyond traditional HR reporting. You will build the data infrastructure and AI-assisted workflows that empower HR, Safety, and Compliance leaders ask better questions and get faster, more trustworthy answers. Job duties include but are not limited to: AI-Augmented Analysis: Use Claude and other AI tools to accelerate exploratory, draft and refine SQL/queries, identify trends across HRIS and workforce datasets, and validate findings before they reach leadership. Treat AI as a thinking partner that extends your perspective and capabilities, not a shortcut that replaces sound judgment. Workflow & Automation Design : Identify repetitive, manual reporting processes and redesign them as automated, sustainable workflows — reducing turnaround time and freeing capacity for higher-value analysis. Build with reusability in mind so workflows outlast any single request. Insight Engines, Not Just Reports: Move past static reporting toward systems that surface trends, anomalies, and "why" behind the numbers — proactively flagging issues in employee engagement, turnover, safety compliance, and workforce planning before they're asked about. Data Integrity and Management: Ensure accuracy, consistency, and completeness of HR data across HRIS, people management systems, and adjacent platforms. Conduct regular audits and build automated checks to catch discrepancies early. Dashboards Built to Last: Design clear, visually compelling, and low-maintenance dashboards and reports (Power BI, Tableau, Excel, and AI-assisted tooling) that non-technical stakeholders can actually use — and that don't break the moment a data source shifts. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with HR, Compliance, Safety, Operations, Finance, and IT to understand reporting needs, align metrics to organizational goals, and translate ambiguous questions into concrete, buildable deliverables. Continuous Improvement: Identify smarter ways to collect, model, and communicate data, and take ownership of implementing those improvements rather than just flagging them. Special Projects : Contribute to experimental or exploratory initiatives — new metrics, predictive models, or AI tools — as assigned by leadership. Your Must Haves Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Analytics, Statistics, Data Science, or a related field. Proficiency in HRIS platforms and reporting/BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Excel, SQL). Demonstrated comfort using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) to support analysis, automate workflows, or accelerate reporting — and the judgment to know when to trust, verify, or override them. Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex, sometimes messy data sets and translate findings into actionable insights. A builder's mindset: you'd rather design a repeatable workflow than repeat manual work. Genuine curiosity — you dig into anomalies instead of smoothing them over — paired with the creativity to present insights in ways that land with non-technical audiences. Excellent communication and presentation skills to convey insights effectively to HR, Safety, and Compliance leadership. Knowledge of HR metrics, workforce analytics, and compliance reporting. Ability to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively across cross-functional teams. High attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to data accuracy. What We Prefer You Have Hands-on experience designing AI-assisted or automated reporting workflows (e.g., using Claude, Python, or low-code automation tools) in an HR or People Analytics context. 3 or more years of related experience. Experience with predictive analytics and HR data modeling. Familiarity with machine learning concepts and emerging HR technology trends. A track record of turning a one-off analysis request into a durable, self-serve tool or dashboard. Certification in HR analytics, data visualization, or AI/prompt engineering tools is a plus.
