Detroit, United States Canonical - Jobs Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Bring your people analytics, social science research and data mining/science skills to a unique team seeking to understand, and shape, the future of the digital workplace. We are interested in technology, of course, but we are also interested in the human mission of enabling the world's brightest and hardest working people to live where they want and work from anywhere. Most of our colleagues could move to a tech hub but they choose Canonical because of our mission and our approach to the workplace.

We'd like to understand what really makes a distributed, remote-first workplace work. We think we're pretty good at this (being remote first for almost 20 years), but we know there is a lot still to understand, and the frontier of possibility continues to move outward. We'd like to invest in research, analytics and tooling which raises the bar even further for remote collaboration and organisation.

If we are able to build tools that meaningfully improve our cooperation and our satisfaction, then we intend to share our insights with the world, both as a narrative and as SAAS or open source that helps other companies follow in our footsteps.

The role of a People Data Analyst at Canonical

Support analytics and data mining in a cross-disciplinary team of organisational psychologists, web front end engineers, back end engineers and statistics / analytics experts to help us build a new definition for the 21st century digital workplace. Collaborate to figure out what really drives productivity, effectiveness and happiness in a remote-first globally distributed company.

In addition to your existing people analytics work experience, this role will combine your skills in psychology, data analytics and visualisation, to help create a more effective workplace.

Location: This role will be based remotely in the AMER (Eastern Timezone) region.

All applicants applying must be legally authorized to work in the location they want to work in, as we cannot offer visa sponsorship for this job position.

What your day will look like
  • Utilize advanced data analytics to understand how we hire and how we work (productivity, happiness and effectiveness) across a global, remote first organisation
  • Focus on quantitative and qualitative data analytics to find insights and meaningful business outcomes
  • Tell the story from the insights through dashboards, visualizations and presentations
  • Design and conduct research into trends shaping talent science and remote work
  • Collaborate with stakeholder teams (ex., engineering, information systems, etc) to improve the data and tool ecosystem supporting our digital workplace
What we are looking for in you
  • Background in data science, mathematics, actuarial science, or engineering
  • First work experience in People Analytics is an asset
  • Knowledge in advanced statistics, data sciences, coding/scripting languages (Python, R, etc), and databases (SQL, etc)
  • Strength in data analytics and visualization (Looker Studio, Tableau, etc)
  • Ability to translate business questions to key research objectives
  • Ability to identify the best methodology to execute research, synthesize and analyse findings
  • Excellent writing and communication skills
  • Willingness to examine the status quo and resilient in the face of challenges
What we offer you

Your base pay will depend on various factors including your geographical location, level of experience, knowledge and skills. In addition to the benefits above, certain roles are also eligible for additional benefits and rewards including annual bonuses and sales incentives based on revenue or utilization. Our compensation philosophy is to ensure equity right across our global workforce.

In addition to a competitive base pay, we provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. Please note that additional benefits may apply depending on the work location and, for more information on these, you can ask in the later stages of the recruitment process.
