Summary:
The Senior People Information Systems Analyst oversees configuration, integrations, data integrity, system optimization, reporting, and user support within Calyxo’s People technology platform. Beyond maintaining the smooth daily operation of these systems, this role is responsible for developing executive-level dashboards with automated updates, setting up data quality standards and governance, and ensuring robust data management. The analyst translates business requirements into scalable solutions, manages change initiatives to boost adoption, and delivers clear, insightful communications to HR, Finance, and company leadership.

- Lead automation initiatives using platform capabilities (e.g., HiBob workflows, Greenhouse automation, Paylocity feeds) to reduce manual work and error risk.
- Drive change management for new features and integrations—create rollout plans, communications, job aids, and training that ensure strong adoption.
Data Analytics & Reporting
- Collect, clean, reconcile, and analyze HR data from various sources, including HRIS, ATS, Benefits, payroll, and other relevant databases.
- Perform root-cause analyses on discrepancies between systems (e.g., HRIS vs payroll vs benefits) and drive corrective actions across owners and vendors.
- Build executive-ready dashboards (headcount, attrition, hiring funnel, offer acceptance, compensation trends, benefit enrollment/utilization, leave impact) and automate refresh cycles.
- Build, customize, and automate reports to meet the needs of different stakeholders, including HR leadership, department managers, and executive teams.
- Drive ad hoc insights using advanced Excel and BI tooling; translate findings into clear narratives and recommendations for leaders and business partners.
- Establish data quality rules and monitoring for critical fields (employee status, job/level, compensation, deduction codes, eligibility) with alerting and remediation playbooks.
