The HR People Data & Insights Leader is a senior, business-facing people analytics partner who enables better workforce decisions through insight, storytelling, and analytics across all Molex Business Units. This role works directly with executive business and HR leaders to define the workforce questions that matter most and translate data into clear, actionable insights tied to financial and operational outcomes.

The role is insight and storytelling focused, partnering closely with leaders across Molex to understand decision needs and identify business problems where analytics can inform action. While it does not own enterprise data engineering or system administration, it plays a critical role in shaping analytic priorities, requirements, and use cases in close partnership with Workforce Data Management, Digital, and Enterprise Data teams.

Balancing strategic leadership with hands on analytics, the role owns the roadmap for people insights while personally leading high impact analyses, dashboards, and executive ready recommendations. Close collaboration with Finance, Digital, and Enterprise Data teams across Molex and Koch (enterprise) ensures workforce insights are reliable, consistent, and aligned to business decision making.

This is an individual contributor role; impact is achieved through executive influence, strategic partnership, and hands on analytics leadership rather than direct people management. Success is measured by improved decision quality, increased trust in workforce data, and the consistent use of insights in business planning and leadership decisions.

Human Resources Operations is central to Molex's vision for how people, data, and decisions drive business success. The team sets the strategy for HR service delivery and leads enterprise transformation across people, processes, and technology, advancing workforce data strategies that turn insight into action. This role ensures workforce decisions are grounded in insight rather than intuition, improving decision quality, consistency, and trust in workforce data.

Its impact enables smarter talent investments, stronger organizational performance, and sustainable results for Molex.
