People Analytics & Operations, University Hire

San Francisco, CAHybridEntry level
Summary

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.

About the role

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)
