Data Analysis Manager - Global Employee Relations Strategy and Operations Team Grade 10
Location: US Remote
This is a hybrid role-a mix of in-office collaboration and remote flexibility.
What You'll Do
• Turn complex data into clear answers by analyzing structured and unstructured datasets to identify trends, patterns, and actionable insights, then shape findings into reports, dashboards, and executive-ready materials.
• Recommend, don't just report: weigh options and tradeoffs, apply analytical thinking and statistical methods where appropriate, and provide clear recommendations informed by the data.
• Evolve how we report by enhancing and scaling ER's existing reporting frameworks, metrics, dashboards, and visualizations to improve insight quality, usability, and impact.
• Build meaningful data models and reporting solutions.
• Collaborate across teams to build a broader strategy by partnering with Leader Consulting, Legal, and Crisis organizations to define reporting needs, align technical requirements, and move from siloed reporting toward one connected narrative.
• Use data visualization and storytelling techniques to communicate trends and business insights clearly to leadership audiences.
• Use AI responsibly by leveraging AI tools to support analytics and reporting while maintaining strict adherence to ER data privacy, confidentiality, and security standards.
Who You Are
• You have 5+ years of experience in data analysis, people analytics, project management, business intelligence, or a related field, with the ability to distill complex findings into concise, actionable insights for leadership audiences.
• Experienced in performing statistical analysis, trend analysis, and data interpretation to support business decision-making.
• Fluent in AI, Excel, PowerPoint, Tableau, Airtable, and similar analytics and visualization platforms.
• Skilled at translating business questions into analytical approaches.
• Proficient in working with both structured and unstructured data, identifying meaningful patterns even when information is incomplete.
• Provide recommendations that guide strategic and operational decisions beyond surface-level findings.
• Collaborative team player who contributes ideas, challenges assumptions, and offers different perspectives while working toward shared outcomes.
• Proactive and accountable, able to execute with quality and urgency even when priorities compete.
• Open to emerging technologies and committed to continuous learning.
• Handles confidential and highly sensitive information with integrity, discretion, and sound judgment.
Minimum Qualifications

• Proven ability to perform statistical and trend analysis to support business decisions.

Additional Information
This role makes a real difference-the work you do shapes how leaders understand the employee experience and the decisions they make as a result. ER data is sensitive by nature, so judgment matters as much as technical skill. You'll be trusted with information that requires discretion every single day.
The work spans day-to-day analysis and the broader effort of reshaping how the team reports, analyzes, and tells its story. You'll need to move comfortably between tactical execution and strategic thinking while maintaining a strong attention to detail and data integrity.
On our team, your voice matters. We work together toward a collective outcome, and we count on each other to speak up, challenge ideas, and bring fresh thinking to the table-all in alignment with our Cisco Guiding Principles. We're looking for an analyst who brings a point of view, protects what needs protecting, and helps leadership see the employee experience clearly. If that's the kind of work that energizes you, we'd love to hear from you.
