About the role

Microsoft People Analytics role focused on building AI-enabled self-serve tools for HR data, rather than traditional reporting. Hands-on in developing AI capabilities, integrating datasets, and driving adoption across the team while ensuring governance and privacy.

Responsibilities

  • Build and extend our people-analytics MCP server: add new datasets, improve answer quality, and cut response times.
  • Diagnose and fix bugs across our AI tools, and test rigorously before things ship.
  • Partner across the People Analytics team to build and test GitHub Copilot skills that encode analytical methods.
  • Prototype new solutions as opportunities emerge across our workstreams, partnering with senior teammates and adapting quickly as priorities shift in a fast-moving, still-forming space.
  • Stay embedded with analysts: learn where the tools fall short and turn that feedback directly into improvements that people actually adopt.
  • Help others level up: share what you learn, teach new AI tools and techniques, and contribute to a growing skills community across the team.
  • Build responsibly with sensitive people data: bake confidentiality, access, and guardrails into what you ship, and handle governed data with strict adherence to privacy requirements and appropriate legal reviews.

Qualifications

  • Master's Degree in Mathematics, Analytics, Data Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Economics or related field OR Bachelor's Degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Analytics, Data Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Economics or related field AND 2+ years experience in data analysis and reporting, data science, business intelligence, or business and financial analysis OR equivalent experience.
