# People Analytics & Operations, University Hire

**Company:** [Notion](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/notion)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Role:** People Ops
**Experience:** 0+ years
**Skills:** SQL, Python, Workday, Snowflake, Notion, Data Analysis, Business Operations, HRIS
**Posted:** 2026-06-05

> Join Notion's People Analytics & Operations team as part of an 18-month rotational program. Rotate across people operations, analytics, and compensation/benefits while building dashboards, running HR operations in Workday, and prototyping AI-assisted workflows.

## Job Description

## What You'll Achieve

- Build the insights engine: Write SQL that powers our headcount, attrition, and hiring funnel dashboards. Transform raw people data from Workday and Snowflake into crisp analyses that drive real decisions.
- Run the HR operations engine: Execute employee lifecycle transactions in Workday (new hires, transfers, terminations), coordinate onboarding and offboarding end-to-end, triage and resolve employee requests, support compliance and audit readiness, and keep headcount and requisition data clean.
- Tell the story in data: Take a messy people question and produce a clean narrative: numbers to insights to recommended decision. Own the analytical arc end-to-end — from pulling the data to presenting it to senior leadership.
- Prototype AI-assisted workflows: Identify manual, repetitive work across HR operations and replace it with something smarter — automated onboarding task routing, AI-assisted ticket triage, offboarding checklists that run themselves, compliance reminders that don't require a human to send.
- Build and own our Notion workspace: Be the People team's Notion expert. Build pages, databases, dashboards, and views that the whole team relies on.

## Skills You'll Need to Bring

- SQL is your native language: Write queries that join, filter, aggregate, and transform data. Debug the wrong answer and figure out exactly why it's wrong.
- Quantitatively sharp: Think in numbers. Studied business, economics, statistics, or mathematics.
- High agency, high urgency: Don't wait for perfect instructions. When something's broken, fix it. When there's ambiguity, make a call.
- AI-fluent: Use AI tools every day as a real multiplier. Know when Claude drafts it faster, when a formula is cleaner, and when you need to write the code yourself.
- Notion power user: Live in Notion. Know the difference between a filtered view and a linked database.

## Nice to Haves

- Some exposure to Python
- Familiarity with Workday, Snowflake, or similar HRIS or data warehouse tools
- Prior experience in a business operations, finance, or sales operations context (internships count)
