HR Analyst (HR Analytics and Budgeting Team)

Hi there!

We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers. New stars are born here, so don’t miss your chance. This is our HR Analyst role. The HR Analyst has an integral role within our HR department and is dedicated to leveraging HR data to drive strategic decision-making and operational improvements. This individual will specialize in analyzing complex HR metrics, budgeting, forecasting, and process optimization through technology. A significant part of the role involves collaborating closely with HR Business Partners (HRBP) to align budgeting processes with business objectives. The HR Analyst will provide actionable insights to support the optimization of HR initiatives and contribute to the overall efficiency of the HR department.

Our HR Operations team is transitioning to new platforms and we’re focused on building a robust foundation for our HR analytics. You would have the opportunity to be part of the team driving this transformation, enabling key stakeholders like HRBPs, managers, and the finance team members to leverage self-service analytics. We’re moving from traditional reporting to empowering business owners with advanced analytics capabilities.

Develop accurate budgeting and forecasting processes, collaborating closely with HRBP and the Financial division to align these processes with departmental goals and strategies.
• Data Analytics & Reporting: Utilize advanced data analytics to examine cost changes, staff numbers, and HR metrics. Create insightful reports and dashboards to inform strategic decisions within HR and across the business.
• Process Improvement & Automation: Identify and implement process automation opportunities within HR analytics and budgeting, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. Work in partnership with HRBP and the Financial division to refine these processes, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of the business.
• HR Data Management & Governance: Ensure the integrity and accuracy of HR data. Participate in governance activities to uphold data quality and consistency across all HR systems.
• Strategic Insights & Consultative Support: Act as a consultative partner to HR and non-HR stakeholders, translating business needs into analytical projects that yield actionable insights. Engage HRBP in these initiatives to ensure strategic alignment.
• Forecasting Tool Maintenance & Strategic Enhancement: Maintain and enhance forecasting tools and models, ensuring they are robust and responsive to business changes. Collaborate with HRBP in developing and governance of these tools, maintaining clear documentation and supporting strategic capacity planning discussions.
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a pivotal analytical resource within the HR team, collaborating with HRBP and other internal stakeholders to ensure HR analytics initiatives are strategically aligned and effectively executed.
