What the job involves
- The Data & Analytics team is Justworks' data and AI center of excellence - a connected set of functions spanning business intelligence, data science, analytics engineering, platform data/ML engineering and AI builders
- We've grown significantly over the last several years and continue to build momentum across the business, leveling up maturity in how we deliver insights, govern data, and enable the company to make better decisions
- You'll find a highly collaborative & diverse group motivated by craft, shared learning, and a genuine commitment to growing our impact for customers while evolving how we work together for our people
- Come build with us!
- The Analytics Engineering team sits at the center of how Justworks turns raw data into the foundation for trustworthy analysis and reporting across the company
- We're seeking a Senior Manager of Analytics Engineering to lead our analytics engineering team, reporting directly to our Senior Director of Data & Analytics
- You'll set the technical direction and roadmap for analytics engineering, grow and develop your team, and partner closely with Business Intelligence, Data Governance, and Data Platform Engineering leadership to make sure our data foundation scales with the business
- You'll stay close enough to the work to be a credible technical voice (reviewing designs, unblocking hard modeling problems) while representing analytics engineering in broader DNA and cross-functional planning and decision-making
- Own the design, implementation, and maintenance of scalable data models and ELT pipelines, a star schema architecture, and reporting solutions that power business intelligence, reduce time to insights, and elevate our company-wide data literacy

- Collaborate with Data & Analytics leadership and cross-functional teams (Engineering, Operations, and business teams) to understand requirements and translate them into executable projects and data products
- Partner with and influence upstream teams to raise the bar on data quality at the source, advocating for changes that prevent downstream data and reporting issues
- Build relationships with cross-functional leads to promote the adoption of new methods, technologies, and self-service data tools that help the organization scale
- Serve as the senior voice for analytics engineering in cross-functional and DNA leadership planning conversations, representing your team's capacity, priorities, and tradeoffs
Our take
Justworks operates in an increasingly crowded space of all-in-one business operation suites, that include tools like human resources, payroll, employee management, benefits, and others that businesses critically need to operate as they scale.
Globally, human resource management has become an extremely fertile field, creating great opportunity for Justworks to continue to grow. The company is regarded as a market leader, but does see competition in the shape of Paychex Flex, Rippling, Paylocity, and TriNet, among others.
Justworks' solutions have proven extremely popular with SMEs, and this has not gone unnoticed by investors - with the company picking up considerable amounts of funding. The company is known to have sights on going public, though these were delayed somewhat by market conditions. That said, it has continued to expand operations and acquired Via in 2024, signalling that its going strong.
