Role Overview
You'll be Harvey's founding People Data Analytics Lead — the technical leader for our people analytics function. You'll set the long-term direction for how we measure, model, and act on workforce data: building the data layer from scratch, defining the methodology others work from, and connecting the full employee lifecycle into a single, actionable view of how exceptional talent thrives at Harvey. The goal isn't just reporting — it's helping leaders understand why things are happening across the workforce and intervene before issues scale. This role sits within People Ops, with deep partnership across Total Rewards, Recruiting Ops, PBPs, People Systems, and Finance.
- Build a cohesive view of Harvey's employee lifecycle — connecting recruiting, onboarding, engagement, performance, mobility, retention, and exits into a single, actionable narrative that shows where exceptional talent thrives or breaks down
- Own the vision and roadmap for Harvey's people data infrastructure — partner with Data Engineering and Security to stand up the people data layer in Snowflake (or similar), define architecture requirements, and drive role-based access controls and data governance so the right people have the right access
- Consolidate workforce data across Workday, Ashby, Envoy, Culture Amp, and other HR systems, and build the data quality frameworks that keep it trustworthy at scale
- Define and maintain Harvey's people metrics dictionary — standardize how headcount, attrition, hiring, and workforce trends are measured across the org
- Design the frameworks and methodologies that scale beyond v1 — forecast headcount, model attrition, segment the org, benchmark against market — built to explain not just what is happening but why
- Move People Analytics beyond reporting into intervention — surface leading indicators, manager behaviors, operational friction, and emerging org risks before they become scaled people problems, and help Harvey understand what attracts, enables, retains, and risks losing exceptional talent
- Build dashboards that give leadership clear visibility into the workforce, cuttable by org, region, and function — and shape exec-level decisions with the insights they surface
- Build the self-service foundation that lets partner teams operate independently — design the frameworks, tooling, and documentation so that comp, PBPs, and other partners can surface their own insights without routing every question through analytics
- Drive alignment across PBPs, RecOps, People Systems, and Finance to define reporting cadence and answer the questions that drive strategic people decisions
- Set the bar for people data craft at Harvey — define standards, review work, and grow the analytics capability of partner teams
- Use AI aggressively to automate workflows, accelerate analysis, and scale your impact — this is a role where AI-first thinking compounds fast
What You Have
- 7+ years in people analytics, HR data, or workforce analytics, ideally at a high-growth tech company
- Track record of building people analytics functions, frameworks, or methodologies from scratch — not just executing within an established one
- Strong SQL — you can write complex queries, validate data quality, and collaborate fluently with data engineers on schema design and transformation logic
- Hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake strongly preferred)
- Experience with at least one data viz tool (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar)
- Direct Workday (HRIS) and ATS experience; you understand how people data is structured in an HRIS and what breaks it
- Experience mentoring or upskilling partner teams on data practices, dashboards, or self-serve reporting
- AI-native workflows — you use AI tools daily, build with them, and use them as force multipliers
- A self-starter attitude and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
- Communicates persuasively with executives — frames data into recommendations leaders act on
Compensation
$180,000 - $270,000 USD

Data Analyst Lead Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a data analyst lead in Texas?
There is no state-issued license required to work as a data analyst lead in Texas. The standard path is a bachelor's degree in a quantitative field such as statistics, computer science, or economics, followed by several years of hands-on analytics experience. Texas employers typically look for candidates who have progressed from analyst to senior analyst before stepping into a lead role, with a strong portfolio of projects involving business intelligence tools, SQL, and Python.
How much do data analyst leads make in Texas?
Data analyst leads in Texas earn a median of about $122,090 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,540 for the lowest 10% to over $170,780 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire data analyst leads in Texas?
Employers hiring data analyst leads in Texas right now include Citi, Apple, and Humana, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, major energy companies, and large health systems means consistent openings across a wide range of industries rather than a single dominant sector.
Which Texas cities have the most data analyst lead jobs?
Austin, Irving, and Houston have the most data analyst lead openings in Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth's density of corporate headquarters in financial services, telecom, and retail drives the highest volume, while Houston's energy and medical center employers anchor demand there, and Austin's fast-growing technology sector fuels steady hiring for analytics leadership roles.
Are there remote data analyst lead jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 21% of data analyst lead openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how portable the work is for roles that center on querying data, building dashboards, and presenting findings. The parts of the role most likely to be fully remote are individual-contributor analytics tasks, while team leadership responsibilities often push toward at least a hybrid arrangement.
How can I get hired as a data analyst lead in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is to build toward a lead title from an analyst or business intelligence analyst role, then step into a lead position once you have demonstrated mentorship or project ownership. Large Texas employers like major energy companies, health systems within the Texas Medical Center, and Dallas-Fort Worth financial institutions often hire associate data analysts or business intelligence analysts as entry points. Building a portfolio with Python, SQL, and Tableau projects and earning a Google Data Analytics or Microsoft Power BI certification gives candidates a clear edge in the Texas market.
