People Analytics, Reporting & Data Stewardship
- Own people analytics and HR reporting outcomes, focusing on usability, adoption, and decision support.
- Define standard people metrics, KPIs, and reporting expectations in partnership with HR leaders.
- Act as the business data steward for HR and people data.
- Partner with the centralized EDW team for data definitions, governance, and enterprise enablement—without duplicating data engineering or pipeline ownership.
Role clarity: This position is product‑ and outcomes‑focused. It does not perform data engineering or manage enterprise data pipelines.
Governance, Security & Compliance
- Partner with GRC to implement compliance requirements, access controls, and security policies across HR systems.
- Ensure HR technology solutions meet regulatory, audit, and data protection standards.
- Manage system inventory and technology risk in coordination with IT and HR operations.
Vendor & Team Leadership
- Lead vendor and partner relationships, including software selection, renewals, SOW reviews, and onboarding.
- Identify skill gaps and build or augment HRIS capabilities to support Lucid’s scale.
- Inspire collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement—measuring success by employee and business impact.
- Stay current on best practices, emerging trends, and AI advancements in HR and people technology.
You Bring:

- Experience supporting global or international HR deployments.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast‑paced, scaling environment.
- Automotive or manufacturing industry experience.
- Advanced degree.
