Mercari, being a diverse organization, discussions, and decision-making with data becomes extremely important to reduce bias and create informed decisions. Before we introduced a company-wide HR system in 2020, HR data was spread all over in different systems and formats, and it was extremely difficult to make any sense of the data. After a common HR system was introduced and operations were streamlined, we started the HR Data Management team and I was one of the first members. Since then we have been working on “consulting” and “technology” fronts to help HR division and leaders to make informed decisions with data. While the “consulting” front involves cross-analyzing HR data from different sources, like engagement surveys, performance reviews, etc, the “technology” front is focused on building the common HR data infrastructure and dashboard to visualize HR data in real-time. I am primarily working on the “technology” front, where my day-to-day role involves hearing user stories from HR stakeholders (HRBPs, Execs, D&I, etc), writing scripts to automate data collection and storage, creating HR data visualizations as well as giving consultations to stakeholders on how to see the trends to do discussions around HR data.What I am responsible for:- Setting data infrastructure for Mercari's HR data- Enabling data-driven recruiting, D&I, L&D, HCM through dashboarding- Promoting HR Tech in the organization- Managing HR projects using Agile (Scrum) process (I am a Certified Scrum Master)Tools/Tech: Big Query, CloudSQL, Google Data Studio, Workday, Google App Script, Java, Agile, Scrum
