To help organisations unlock the power of people by making complicated, time-consuming tasks simple and efficient.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years in analytics or data science, with at least 3 years experience leading a product analytics function (coaching, hiring, and growing teams)
- Direct, hands-on experience applying AI/LLMs to analytics workflows (e.g. natural-language querying, AI agents for insight generation, automated anomaly detection) that you’ve personally shipped, not just read about
- Expert hands-on technical skills: SQL, Python/R, dbt or similar, plus fluency with BI tools (Looker, Tableau) and behavioral analytics platforms (Amplitude, Heap, Mixpanel). Snowflake experience is a plus
- Strong track record defining metrics frameworks and success criteria for product organisations
- Comfortable operating as a strategic partner to senior Product & Engineering stakeholders
- Excellent communication skills, able to bring both technical and non-technical audiences along on a change agenda
What the job involves
- AI is changing what product analytics can do, and we want to lead that shift. As Head of - Product & Engineering Analytics, you’ll own our data strategy for Product & Tech (PTech) and lead the next chapter of product analytics at Personio: AI-first, agentic, and self-serve by design
- You’ll partner closely with Product & Engineering leadership, and stay hands-on with the data yourself
- This is a role for someone who wants to build the future of analytics, not just manage it
- Lead the next chapter of PTech analytics: Build and embed AI-powered, agentic tooling into how PTech works with data, making self-serve insight generation and automation the default, not the exception
- Own the data strategy: Define and drive the data & analytics strategy for Product & Tech, ensuring it evolves alongside how Personio builds products
- Guide the product lifecycle with data: Define how data is leveraged at each stage of the product development lifecycle, from discovery and opportunity sizing through to post-launch impact measurement
- Build metrics frameworks: Define and maintain the metrics frameworks PTech teams use to define and measure success
- Partner with product leaders: Work hand-in-hand with Product & Engineering leadership to ground strategy and roadmap decisions in data
- Change the culture: Foster a data & measurement-driven culture across PTech, raising the bar on data literacy and self-serve capability
- Lead & stay close to the work: Build and develop a high-caliber analytics team, while remaining hands-on enough to prototype, model and analyse alongside them
Our take
Personio was set up to automate and simplify HR tasks with a single software. This means reducing admin and accelerating efficiency with data and processes seamlessly integrating with each other.
What sets Personio apart from its competitors is the fact that its solution covers all the core HR processes that are key to every company’s success and can be performed in one place. This gives HR professionals the time and energy to focus on more strategic topics like talent development and employer branding. Now, Personio has over 15,000 customers, among which are 1.5 million employees using its software.
With substantial funding from multiple investors, Personio is focused on growing the tools it offers as well as expanding into what it describes as “people workflow automation". With 1.7 million small and medium-sized businesses still stuck in the spreadsheet era, Personio will deliver even more value to businesses in years to come.
