Archer

Compensation

Full Description

The Head of People Analytics & Systems will serve as a strategic and hands-on leader, driving how Archer uses data and systems to make workforce decisions that power our growth. You'll partner closely with People, HRIS, Finance, and Business leaders to identify opportunities, anticipate trends, and translate insights into action. You'll inherit a strong analytics foundation, working alongside an experienced team member who has already established key reporting and systems processes. Your role is to elevate and scale, not to build from scratch, by bringing strong business acumen, systems expertise, and strategic leadership that ties people data directly to organizational outcomes. This role requires someone who can see the big picture, understand systems end-to-end, and roll up their sleeves in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment. What You'll Do: • Lead and enhance Archer's People Analytics strategy, with a strong focus on HR systems integration, data structure, and scalability. • Partner with our HRIS and People Operations teams to optimize Workday configurations, reporting, and data flows across the employee lifecycle. • Drive the design and maintenance of executive-level dashboards that bring together data from Workday, ATS, engagement platforms, and other systems. • Ensure data governance, quality, and consistency across all People systems and analytics tools. • Translate complex data into clear, compelling business insights that help senior leaders make informed decisions. • Collaborate with Finance, HRBPs, and Talent Acquisition on headcount planning, organizational design, and workforce forecasting. • Coach and partner with the existing analytics team member to scale capabilities, automation, and insights across the People function. • Operate as a player-coach, comfortable toggling between strategy, systems, and hands-on analytics. What You Need: • 8+ years in People Analytics, HRIS, Workforce Planning, or HR Strategy, with meaningful experience working directly with HR systems. • Deep expertise in HRIS platforms (Workday strongly preferred) - including reporting, data structures, dashboards, and data governance. • Strong technical skills with analytics tools such as Visier, Tableau, Power BI, or comparable platforms. • Strong business acumen and proven ability to connect people data to organizational performance and strategy. • Experience influencing and partnering with senior leaders, translating data into clear decisions. • Demonstrated success working in fast-paced, evolving environments where structure is still being built. • A hands-on, player-coach leadership style that balances vision with execution.

We drive a pay-for-performance culture and reward performance that supports the Company's business strategy. For this position we are targeting a base pay between $183,600 - $204,000.
