HRIS Workforce planning Analyst

The Workforce Planning function at Anthropic needs a Business Analyst who can be the technical backbone of how we plan, track, and optimize headcount. This role sits at the intersection of systems engineering and business partnership
—you’ll build and maintain the configurations, pipelines, and analytical tools that make workforce planning actually work.

Day‑to‑day, you’ll own Workday configuration and data quality
, build reporting and automation that serves planning stakeholders, and work closely with the Program Manager and cross‑functional teams to ensure our systems support accurate forecasting. You’ll consult directly with managers and business leaders on headcount decisions, translating their strategic questions into technical solutions
. Maintaining high data integrity across our people systems isn’t a side responsibility here—it’s core to the role and to the trust that leaders place in our planning process.

This is for someone who finds genuine satisfaction in building clean data infrastructure and scalable technical solutions
—and who wants to do it in an environment that moves fast and values the work.
