Technical Business/Data Analyst (HR DATA)

In accordance with client requirements, candidates must be eligible and willing to work on a W2 basis. Our W2 consultants enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage and a 401(k) plan.

We are seeking a highly technical Business Analyst to support a critical Snowflake migration within the HR/People Analytics space. This role is heavily focused on data quality, validation, and QA. The ideal candidate will be hands-on, detail-oriented, and comfortable working deep within the data warehouse environment.

This is not a functional BA role. The right person will be “knee-deep” in data daily — validating, testing, analyzing transformations, and ensuring reporting accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform ongoing data validation and QA testing during a Snowflake migration
• Write complex SQL queries for data analysis, profiling, and validation
• Validate HR data accuracy, integrity, and transformation logic
• Ensure raw data is correctly transformed into reporting-ready datasets
• Support parallel QA efforts and testing cycles
• Pull and validate reports and metrics for HR stakeholders
• Identify data discrepancies and perform root cause analysis
• Partner closely with People Analytics, HR, and Data Engineering teams
• Build on and enhance existing datasets and dashboards
  
  

Required Qualifications

• 3–5 years of experience as a Business Analyst or Data Analyst
• Strong, hands-on experience with Snowflake (required)
• Experience with Power BI
• Advanced proficiency in SQL
• Experience working directly within a data warehouse environment
• Strong understanding of data transformations and reporting logic
• Experience with data validation, QA, and reconciliation processes
• Ability to work independently with minimal ramp-up time
• Strong communication skills and ability to interact with HR stakeholders
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Background working with HR systems or HR data
• Experience with Workday
• Familiarity with metadata/catalog tools (e.g., Collibra, Alation)
• Experience in biopharma or highly regulated environments
  
  

Work Environment

• Fully onsite, 5 days per week
• High-visibility role supporting HR and People Analytics leadership
• Small, collaborative team environment
• Direct exposure to business stakeholders
  
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Data quality mindset — naturally questions discrepancies
• Strong sense of urgency and ownership
• Highly technical and comfortable working deep in the data
• Able to hit the ground running with limited training
• Professional and presentation-ready for onsite stakeholder interaction
  
  

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a high-impact data initiative while working closely with leadership in People Analytics. Candidates who are more functional than technical will not be the right fit for this position.
