People Analytics Analyst, Grafana Labs

• You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you, we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity
• Experience in a people analytics, HR analytics, or workforce analytics role with meaningful exposure to business-facing stakeholders
• An endlessly curious analytical mindset — you love connecting data together and seeing what it reveals
• SQL proficiency: writing complex, efficient queries is a regular part of your workflow (BigQuery, Snowflake, or similar)
• Strong AI skills and genuine interest in using AI tools to improve how you work — you proactively seek AI-driven solutions and apply your domain expertise to guide and validate them
• Advanced experience with Excel and/or Google Sheets for analysis, modeling, and quick-turn insights
• Experience with data visualization and BI tools (PowerBI, Tableau, Looker; Grafana BI a plus) with an interest in enabling self-service analytics
• Experience working with people data from HR systems such as Workday, Greenhouse, LMS platforms, or similar
• Strong presentation and storytelling skills — you can translate complex data into clear, compelling insights for non-technical audiences
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; you build trust and credibility with HR partners and business leaders
• Resilience and adaptability — you thrive under pressure, handle competing priorities without losing quality, and treat ambiguity as a challenge rather than an obstacle
• Comfort operating in a growing, evolving analytics function where building, iterating, and scaling are part of the job
