HRIS Workforce planning Analyst-$170/hr

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.
