[Hiring] Technical Data & Talent Intelligence Lead @Cisco

Role Description

The Talent Communities & Insights (TC&I) team, part of Cisco's unified Talent Attraction and Intelligence organization, drives a predictive, insight-led approach to global hiring. We are looking for a Talent Intelligence & Insights Lead to sit at the intersection of recruiting strategy, labor market analytics, and executive storytelling.

In this role, you will connect the dots across disparate external labor market feeds (such as Draup, LinkedIn Talent Insights, SeekOut) and internal HR data to answer Cisco's most critical talent questions:

• Where is key competitor talent concentrated?
• What niche skills are surging?
• How should we optimize our global location and hiring strategies?

You will define our talent intelligence reporting roadmap, design executive-ready market briefings, and empower recruiters, sourcers, and hiring leaders to make confident, data-backed talent decisions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Analytics, Market Research, Workforce Planning, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 7+ years of experience in Intelligence, Analytics, Workforce Strategy, or Talent Acquisition Insights

Requirements

• Deep domain expertise in Analytics (preferably HR, Talent, or People Analytics)
• Proven track record of synthesizing complex, messy data across multiple external vendors into crisp, executive-ready stories, slide decks, and dashboards with recommendations
• Exceptional communication and consulting skills, with demonstrated success aligning cross-functional leaders, business partners, and executives without direct authority
• Comfortable manipulating, querying, and interpreting multi-source datasets (working knowledge of BI reporting tools, advanced Excel/Airtable, or basic SQL is helpful, though deep data engineering is not required)

Benefits

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution
• Paid parental leave
• Short and long-term disability coverage
• Basic life insurance
• 10 paid holidays per full calendar year, plus 1 floating holiday for non-exempt employees
• 1 paid day off for employee’s birthday
• Paid year-end holiday shutdown
• 4 paid days off for personal wellness determined by Cisco
• 16 days of paid vacation time per full calendar year for non-exempt employees
• Flexible vacation time off program for exempt employees
• 80 hours of sick time off provided on hire date and each January 1st thereafter
• Optional 10 paid days per full calendar year to volunteer
