Staff HR Analyst

Compensation at Tenstorrent spans multiple countries, currencies, and equity vehicles, and the foundation under it is still being built. This role owns the building blocks: the global comp calendar, the review cycles, offer governance, and the data everything else depends on. You will run cycles end to end, act as the gatekeeper on complex offers and equity allocations, and turn benchmarking, equity budgeting, and dilution analysis into something leadership can decide from. You will also be the person HRBPs, managers, and recruiters come to when they need a comp answer they can act on.

This role is hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA, Austin, TX, or Toronto, ON.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

Who You Are

• You care about the people side, not just the data. You want to understand how HRBPs guide their orgs and what a hiring leader is actually deciding, and you would rather be a thought partner than a ticket queue.
• Working without a finished playbook suits you. The house here is not fully built, and you would rather lay foundation than inherit someone else's.
• You build analytics people adopt without being chased. You think about who uses the thing and whether they came back, and you want non-analysts to answer their own questions inside sensible guardrails.
• Curiosity about what AI changes runs through your work, not just for writing SQL faster but for how analytics reaches people in the first place.
  
  

What We Need

• Four or more years in people analytics, HR analytics, or a comparable data-focused role, including at least one reporting or analytics product you owned end to end rather than supported.
• Hands-on, current SQL for pulling, shaping, validating, and investigating data. We care more about the instinct to define the question before writing the query than about memorized syntax.
• Dashboard building in Tableau or an equivalent BI tool, with real adoption you can point to.
• A partner's instinct with system and operations owners, including reconciling metric definitions before reconciling numbers, and explaining all of it in plain language to people who are not technical.
  
  

What You Will Learn

• How HR data actually breaks, and how to fix it at the source instead of patching it downstream.
• How to make an analysis land with a leader who is deciding something rather than reading a report.
• What modern HR analytics delivery looks like when the answer can live in Tableau, in Claude, in an agent, or somewhere that does not exist yet.
• Where the leverage sits in a fast-growing hardware company, since this reporting suite touches nearly every part of how we hire and grow.
