Reporting directly to the Director of Total Rewards, we are seeking a highly disciplined and detail-oriented Senior Data Analyst to manage complex, large-scale datasets supporting our Benefits operations.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in structured problem-solving, demonstrates intellectual curiosity, and is motivated to deeply understand systems, data flows, and benefits administration-even without prior direct experience.

Why This Role

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working behind the scenes to build strong data foundations, values accuracy over speed, and wants to grow expertise in benefits administration and cross-system data management.

• Work effectively with imperfect or "unclean" data, creating logic and controls to improve reliability.

Systems Integration & Coordination

• Support integrations and data flow between HRIS and other external platforms.
• Ensure smooth communication and reconciliation between systems with differing structures and data quality levels.

Analytics

• Utilize advanced Excel capabilities (e.g., complex formulas, pivot tables, Power Query, data modeling) to analyze and transform data.
• Generate reports and insights as needed to support decision-making.

Learning & Continuous Improvement

• Develop a strong understanding of benefits administration (no prior experience required).
• Ask thoughtful, probing questions to fully understand data, systems, and processes.
• Continuously seek opportunities to improve data quality, processes, and system integration.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Engineering or other analytical programs
• 5 years experience in analytical data-focused role
• Advanced Excel skills (e.g., nested formulas, data validation, pivot tables, macros/Power Query strongly preferred).
• Demonstrated experience managing large datasets with a high degree of accuracy.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data integrity.
• Experience working with incomplete, inconsistent, or "dirty" data.
• Structured, process-oriented mindset with strong organizational discipline.
• Ability to work independently and drive clarity in ambiguous situations.

Preferred

• Exposure to HRIS systems and data integrations.
• Experience building data validation frameworks and audit controls.
• Familiarity with benefits administration (or strong willingness to learn quickly).

Success Profile

• Highly detail-oriented and methodical.
• Skilled problem solver who drives to discover and correct root cause issues.
• Curious and driven to deeply understand how systems and data work.
