Org Design HR Analyst
Summary
The Org Design HR Analyst supports organizational structure, headcount planning, and workforce metrics by maintaining dashboards and analyzing data in Workday. They collaborate with HR teams to model organizational scenarios, manage governance forums, and document design principles to support company scaling.
As an Org Design HR Analyst, you will support the design and health of Clearwater’s organization structure; helping ensure teams are structured, sized, and leveled in a way that supports the business. You’ll work closely with the People Analytics and HR Business Partner teams to build reporting and support the analysis behind organizational design decisions. You’ll also support the Organizational Effectiveness & Innovation Lead, helping keep team topology, governance forums, and innovation programs running as Clearwater scales new structures and initiatives.
Key Responsibilities:
- Dashboards & Reporting: Support regular reports and dashboards on org structure, headcount, and workforce metrics, drawing on data maintained in the HRIS.
- Data Quality Flagging: Review org and position data for inconsistencies or errors, and flag and track discrepancies through to resolution with Regional HR Ops, who own manual HRIS data entry and Workday changes.
- Org Design Analysis: Support analysis of span of control, layers, job leveling, and reporting structures to identify inefficiencies and inform org design recommendations.
- Reorg & Scenario Support: Assist in building and modeling organizational scenarios during restructures, reorganizations, and headcount planning cycles.
- Team Topology & Governance Support: Support the Organizational Effectiveness & Innovation Lead in maintaining team topology (flat structures, single-threaded ownership, small co-located teams) and in coordinating cross-functional governance forums (e.g., architecture and commercial review boards), including scheduling, agendas, and decision tracking.
- Innovation Program Support: Help track and report on innovation program activity (e.g., Ideathon-style mechanisms), monitoring idea-to-launch velocity and compiling status updates for leadership.
- New Business Line Support: Assist with the structural setup of new business line stand-ups, gathering the org data and documentation needed so org design follows strategy from day one.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Work with HR Business Partners, Regional HR Ops, Talent Acquisition, and business stakeholders to gather organizational data and understand structural change requests.
- Documentation: Help document org design principles, templates, and processes to build a consistent, repeatable playbook for future organizational changes.
