• Translate ambiguous business requests into clear reporting requirements, mock-ups, and delivery timelines.
• Perform data validation, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis when reports or dashboards produce unexpected results.
• Maintain documentation for report logic, data lineage, and refresh schedules to support audit and SOX compliance needs.
• Support ad hoc and recurring reporting requests tied to headcount, turnover, compensation, and other core HR metrics.
• Identify opportunities to consolidate, standardize, automate, or retire redundant reports across tools.

• Exposure to Databricks or similar cloud data platforms (SQL, notebooks, or pipeline concepts).
• Comfort using AI-assisted tools (e.g., Copilot) for report development and documentation.
• Strong SQL skills and general data literacy across relational data structures.
• Experience working with HR or people data and an understanding of common HR metrics.

• Familiarity with HR shared services / Global People Services operating models.
• Experience supporting multi-region or global HR reporting requirements.
• Background in change control or data governance frameworks.
