About The Team

The Data & Analytics team is Justworks' data and AI center of excellence - a connected set of functions spanning business intelligence, data science, analytics engineering, data governance, platform data/ML engineering and AI builders.

Who You Are

You're an experienced operator who thinks like a builder. You see recurring manual processes as automation opportunities, and you approach every operational problem with a bias toward systems that scale. You have genuine depth in data and AI and you understand how a diverse set of data teams work, and you bring that context into how you design the workflows, tooling, and practices that connect them.

AI is not a tool you use occasionally; it's how you approach operational problems by default. You're comfortable owning work management, knowledge systems, incident frameworks, and productivity tools and you know how to make all of it work together so a growing team can operate with precision.

You bring structure and follow-through to every forum you're in. You build trust with functional leaders and earn credibility through the quality of the systems you ship, not just the processes you document. Reporting to the VP of Data & Analytics, you'll own the internal operating infrastructure that lets DNA teams focus on the work that matters.

  • Participate in and support DNA's extended leadership team forums
  • Build and run onboarding and enablement infrastructure for new DNA team members
  • Scale what works - turn high-impact patterns into shared standards, playbooks, and templates

AI-Native Workflows & Tooling

  • Design and build AI-powered workflows that eliminate repetitive operational work and free DNA teams to focus on higher-leverage work
  • Own DNA's operational tooling ecosystem - continuously optimize, standardize, and drive adoption across teams (Jira, Confluence, Slack workflows, AI tools)
  • Lead enablement and upskilling on ways of working within DNA
  • Continuously ask: what work here requires human judgment, and what can be automated? Then act on the answer

In this role, success looks like: DNA leaders have clear visibility into what's happening and where things stand. Manual processes are continuously replaced by b
