People Data Specialist

Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

  • Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
  • What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
  • It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION 

Serve as the analytics backbone for our People team — turning people data into clear, confident decisions. This role partners directly with People Business Partners (PBPs) to deliver the insights, dashboards, and data integrity they need to support a fast-moving, growing organization. It's a hands-on, build-it-from-the-ground-up role — not a maintenance position — suited for someone with 3–5 years of HR analytics experience who can operate with autonomy, earn trust quickly, and bring structure to ambiguity. You'll own the quality of our people data end-to-end, while also being the go-to analytical resource for People across the business. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

Partner with People Business Partners 

  • Serve as the primary analytics resource for People Business Partners (PBPs), helping them answer workforce questions quickly and accurately. 
  • Translate business questions from PBPs and leadership into clearly scoped data requests and analytical projects. 
  • Proactively surface trends, risks, and opportunities in people data before they're asked for. 
  • Communicate findings in plain language — through presentations, written summaries, and one-on-one consultations. 

Own People Data Integrity 

  • Take end-to-end ownership of the accuracy and completeness of people data across People systems (HRIS, performance tools, engagement platforms). 
  • Design and implement data quality checks, audit processes, and reconciliation routines to catch and correct errors. 
  • Establish and enforce data entry standards and governance protocols across People workflows. 
  • Partner with IT and People Ops to diagnose and resolve upstream data issues in pipelines and integrations. 
  • Maintain clear documentation of data definitions, sources, logic, and known limitations. 

Build Reporting & Dashboards 

  • Design and maintain core People dashboards covering headcount, attrition, DEI metrics, compensation, and engagement. 
  • Automate recurring reports so PBPs spend less time pulling data and more time acting on it. 
  • Fulfill ad hoc data requests — from quick lookups to multi-variable analyses — with speed and accuracy. 
  • Create self-serve data products that empower PBPs and managers to answer their own questions. 

Drive Analytics & Insight 

  • Apply descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analysis to support strategic People initiatives (e.g., retention risk, hiring forecasting, workforce planning). 
  • Support survey design and analysis — engagement, exit, onboarding, and pulse surveys. 
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of People programs using data and help quantify their business impact. 
  • Stay current on People analytics best practices and bring new methods to the team as we scale. 

Required 

  • 3–5 years of experience in HR analytics, people analytics, or a closely related data role. 
  • Proficiency in SQL and at least one BI/visualization tool (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker). 
  • Hands-on experience with an HRIS platform (e.g., Workday, BambooHR, Rippling, UKG) and familiarity with its data structures. 
  • Demonstrated ability to own data quality — not just report on data, but actively improve it. 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present complex analysis to non-technical audiences. 
  • Highly organized, with a track record of managing multiple requests and deadlines in a fast-paced environment. 

Nice to Have 

  • Experience with Python or R for analysis and automation. 
  • Familiarity with HR tech integrations and data pipelines (e.g., Power Automate). 
  • Background in survey design, I/O psychology, or organizational effectiveness. 

COMPENSATION 

  • Base Salary: $85k - $125k 
  • Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education and experience. 

 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 

  • Work Location: Long Beach, CA or Centennial, CO 
  • Travel: Occasional travel to Colorado Springs and/or Long Beach 
  • Work environment is in a standard office, working at a desk or in a production factory

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
