Sr. Analyst, People Analytics

Reports to: Senior Manager, People Analytics At Levi Strauss & Co., we believe great people power great brands. We're building our People Analytics function from the ground up, and we're looking for a Senior Analyst who brings real data science expertise to the table - someone equally comfortable building a Power BI dashboard or writing a Python model to answer a harder question. This role is perfect for someone who is detail-oriented, technically strong, and experienced with Workday data, Power BI, and Python or R. The Senior Manager, People Analytics sets the function's vision, framework, and data standards - within that, you'll bring your own expertise to how questions get answered, own your analyses end-to-end, and help the function scale faster by being a genuine analytical partner, not just an executor.

Apply Data Science to People Challenges Independently design and run analyses — statistical modeling, predictive analytics, hypothesis testing — to answer complex employee and organizational performance and lifecycle questions, working within the standards and roadmap the Senior Manager sets. Use Python or R to go beyond dashboarding where the question calls for it: building models, testing hypotheses, and generating insights that static reporting can't. Partner with the Senior Manager on identifying and building GenAI and AI-assisted tools, contributing your own ideas on where AI/data science can add value, not just implementing a predefined list. Bring analytical rigor to the team — pressure-test assumptions, validate findings, and know when a simpler explanation fits the data better than a complex model. Deliver Insights Through Visualization Create clear, intuitive data visualizations that help stakeholders quickly understand workforce trends. Translate business questions into actionable insights through dashboards and analysis. Design, build, and maintain dashboards and reports using Power BI as the primary tool. Monitor and improve dashboard performance, ensuring fast load times and efficient data models. Troubleshoot and resolve dashboard issues related to data accuracy, refresh failures, performance, and usability. Data Expertise Extract, validate, and manage workforce data from enterprise systems, ensuring accurate and reliable reporting. Develop a strong understanding of enterprise data structures, including core HR, talent, and organizational data. Partner with HR Operations and IT to troubleshoot data discrepancies between Workday and downstream systems. Support data integrity by identifying and resolving data quality issues at the source. Work Directly with Data Clean, transform, and prepare data from Workday and other systems for analysis and reporting. Combine datasets from multiple sources while maintaining consistency and accuracy. Build and maintain data models, including more advanced statistical or predictive models, that support scalable and efficient analysis. Document data sources, logic, and definitions to support transparency and repeatability. Support Data Governance, Security, and Quality Operate within the data governance framework and standards the Senior Manager establishes, and help strengthen them as the function matures. Ensure compliance with data privacy, security, and confidentiality requirements. Validate data regularly and proactively identify risks related to data accuracy or misuse. Maintain consistent definitions for key HR metrics and KPIs. Collaborate and Communicate Partner with HR Business Partners, HR teams, and business stakeholders — including global stakeholders across regions and time zones — to gather requirements and deliver solutions. Communicate data issues, insights, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Help stakeholders understand how to use dashboards, interpret data, and trust the analysis behind it. What You Bring 4+ years of experience in data analytics, people analytics, or a related field.
