INTRODUCTION
Who We Are
Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work feels faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, humanity, and building things that last — not just shipping the next feature, but setting a standard for how modern teams (with humans and agents working together) think and execute.
About us
Notion helps you build beautiful tools for your life’s work. In today's world of endless apps and tabs, Notion provides one place for teams to get everything done, seamlessly connecting docs, notes, projects, calendar, and email—with AI built in to find answers and automate work. Millions of users, from individuals to large organizations like Toyota, Figma, and OpenAI, love Notion for its flexibility and choose it because it helps them save time and money. In-person collaboration is essential to Notion's culture. We require all team members to work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, our designated Anchor Days. Certain teams or positions may require additional in-office workdays.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You're joining Notion's People Analytics & Operations team as part of an 18-month rotational program -- the group that builds the insights engine powering every people decision Notion makes. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you've built. If you've ever rebuilt a broken process because it was bothering you, used AI to do something you couldn't have done alone, or found yourself reading about labor economics for fun -- you're the person we're looking for. Over 18 months, you'll rotate across people operations, people analytics, and compensation/benefits. Every rotation is real work with real ownership. On the analytics side, you'll build dashboards that land in exec review, write SQL that powers headcount models, and prototype AI-assisted workflows that help our team move faster. On the operations side, you'll run the HR engine -- managing employee lifecycle transactions in Workday, owning onboarding and offboarding coordination end-to-end, triaging and resolving employee requests, and keeping our people data clean and audit-ready. You'll be paired with a senior operator who will push your craft and raise your bar. We want someone who's hungry, high-agency, and passionate about leveraging AI to build the future of work. Not "I've used ChatGPT" native -- "I use AI every day to move faster and build smarter" native. And you don't just use Notion; you build in it. At the end of 18 months, you'll declare a focus area and move into a permanent team within the People org -- whether that's People Analytics, People Operations, Total Rewards, or staying broad as a high-impact People generalist. We're intentionally building the next generation of the People team from within.
WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE
- Build the insights engine: Write SQL that powers our headcount, attrition, and hiring funnel dashboards. Transform raw people data from Workday and Snowflake into crisp analyses that drive real decisions. For example, you might build a model that identifies where we're losing great candidates and propose a process fix.
- Run the HR operations engine: You'll learn how the ops side of the house actually works by doing it. That means executing employee lifecycle transactions in Workday (new hires, transfers, terminations), coordinating onboarding and offboarding end-to-end, triaging and resolving employee requests, supporting compliance and audit readiness, and keeping headcount and requisition data clean. For example, you might own the full ops flow for an onboarding cohort and surface process gaps that shorten time-to-productivity.
- Tell the story in data: Take a messy people question and produce a clean narrative: numbers to insights to recommended decision. You'll own the analytical arc end-to-end -- from pulling the data to presenting it to senior leadership.
- Prototype AI-assisted workflows: Identify manual, repetitive work across HR operations and replace it with something smarter -- automated onboarding task routing, AI-assisted ticket triage, offboarding checklists that run themselves, compliance reminders that don't require a human to send. You'll have real latitude to experiment and ship things that outlive your rotation.
- Build and own our Notion workspace: You'll be the People team's Notion expert. Pages, databases, dashboards, views -- you'll build operating systems the whole team relies on. From day one, you'll be the person others come to when they want to do something in Notion they didn't know was possible.
SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING
- SQL is your native language: You don't reach for SQL when you have to; you reach for it when you want to think. You can write queries that join, filter, aggregate, and transform data. You debug the wrong answer and figure out exactly why it's wrong.
- Quantitatively sharp: You think in numbers. You've studied business, economics, statistics, or mathematics and it showed up in your work. Analytical storytelling -- connecting numbers to insights to decisions -- is a skill you've already started building.
- High agency, high urgency: You don't wait for perfect instructions. When something's broken, you fix it. When there's ambiguity, you make a call. We look for slope over intercept -- we care more about what you've built and how fast you learn than where you trained.
- AI-fluent: You use AI tools every day as a real multiplier, not a novelty. You know when Claude drafts it faster, when a formula is cleaner, and when you need to write the code yourself. Come ready to show us how you've used AI to do something you couldn't have done alone.
- Notion power user: You live in Notion. You know the difference between a filtered view and a linked database. You get a little excited when you find a cleaner way to structure something. From day one, you'll be one of the most fluent Notion users on the People team.
NICE TO HAVES
- Some exposure to Python -- enough to know what a loop is and when to reach for one
- Familiarity with Workday, Snowflake, or similar HRIS or data warehouse tools
- Prior experience in a business operations, finance, or sales operations context (internships count)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Financial Data Analyst
Align your credentials with specialty occupation standards
Verify your degree and work history map directly to financial data analysis functions. Designated sponsors and host employers review O*NET occupation profiles to confirm your background fits the Trainee or Intern category before issuing a DS-2019.
Distinguish Intern from Trainee category eligibility
If you're currently enrolled in a degree program abroad, the Intern category applies. If you've graduated and have relevant work experience, apply under the Trainee category. Mixing these up delays DS-2019 issuance and can trigger sponsor rejections.
Search Migrate Mate for J-1-aligned host employers
Filter roles by companies with documented exchange visitor hosting history. Migrate Mate surfaces Financial Data Analyst positions at organizations already familiar with structured training plans and the DS-2019 process, cutting your search time significantly.
Request a written training plan before accepting offers
Your designated sponsor requires a detailed Training/Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002) signed by your host employer. Negotiate this document during the offer stage, not after, since missing program objectives can cause DS-2019 processing delays.
Confirm your host employer's 2-year home residency exposure
Financial data roles funded by government grants or tied to certain nationalities trigger the 2-year home residency requirement under INA Section 212(e). Ask your designated sponsor to assess this before you accept any position involving government-affiliated funding.
Verify the host employer's E-Verify enrollment status
Some designated sponsors require host employers to be enrolled in E-Verify before executing a placement agreement. Confirm enrollment directly with your prospective host's HR team, since non-enrolled employers can be disqualified from the program mid-process.
Financial Data Analyst J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Financial Data Analyst role?
Current students pursuing degrees in finance, statistics, or data science typically qualify under the Intern category. Professionals who have completed their degree and have at least one year of relevant work experience qualify under the Trainee category. Your designated sponsor, not your host employer, makes the official category determination before issuing your DS-2019.
Who actually sponsors the J-1 visa for a Financial Data Analyst position?
The J-1 visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as Cultural Vistas or AIPT, not your hiring employer. The employer acts as your host and provides the structured training environment. The designated sponsor issues the DS-2019 form, monitors your program compliance, and communicates directly with the State Department throughout your exchange.
How do I find Financial Data Analyst host employers open to J-1 exchange visitors?
Use Migrate Mate to search for Financial Data Analyst roles at companies with J-1 hosting history. Many employers in financial services and technology regularly partner with designated sponsors but don't advertise this publicly in job postings. Filtering by sponsorship-aligned roles saves you from applying to employers who have never engaged with the DS-2019 process.
Does the 2-year home residency requirement affect Financial Data Analyst exchange visitors?
It can. The 2-year home residency requirement under INA Section 212(e) applies if your program is funded by your home government, financed by the U.S. government, or if your home country appears on the Exchange Visitor Skills List. Financial data roles at government-affiliated institutions carry higher exposure. Your designated sponsor must assess this before finalizing your placement.
What does the Training/Internship Placement Plan require for an analyst role?
The DS-7002 form must detail specific phase-by-phase training objectives tied to financial data analysis skills, including tools, methodologies, and supervisory structure. Vague descriptions like 'will assist with data projects' are rejected by designated sponsors. Your host employer signs this document, and your designated sponsor reviews it for compliance before the DS-2019 is issued.
