Workforce Planning Analyst (Contract)

Job Description

Remote

Workforce Planning Analyst

Description
The Workforce Planning function needs a Business Analyst who can be the technical backbone of how we plan, track, and optimize headcount.
This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering and business partnership—you’ll build and maintain the configurations, pipelines, and analytical tools that make workforce planning actually work.

Day-to-day, you’ll own Workday configuration and data quality, build reporting and automation that serves planning stakeholders, and work closely with the Program Manager and cross-functional teams to ensure our systems support accurate forecasting.
You’ll consult directly with managers and business leaders on headcount decisions, translating their strategic questions into technical solutions.
Maintaining high data integrity across our people systems isn’t a side responsibility here—it’s core to the role and to the trust that leaders place in our planning process.
This is for someone who finds genuine satisfaction in building clean data infrastructure and scalable technical solutions—and who wants to do it in an environment that moves fast and values the work.

Requirements
3+ years as a business systems analyst, data analyst, or HRIS analyst at technology companies
Advanced SQL—querying large datasets, building reports, creating data pipelines from Workday or similar HRIS platforms
Hands-on Workday configuration: position management, org structure maintenance, custom reporting
Strong spreadsheet skills (Sheets/Excel)—advanced formulas, pivot tables, data visualization, automation
Experience with Python, BigQuery, Tableau, or other BI/data tools
Experience translating business requirements into technical solutions and system configurations
Ability to build dashboards, automated reports, and self-service analytics tools
Detail-oriented with strong data quality management and documentation practice
