Resume

Austin Rose

A decade from technical recruiting through People Analytics leadership to hands-on platform engineering: governed HR data warehouses, HRIS and recruiting platforms, critical integrations, and production agentic systems. Audit-ready data infrastructure, shipped at startup speed.

Experience

Airtable · People Technology Architect

Mar 2026 to Present

Remote

Promoted in July from Senior Business Systems Engineer

  • Architected the company's People Data Warehouse on Databricks, shipping the initial production release in five weeks: certified workforce and recruiting data models, 100+ canonical metrics, and a data-discovery layer designed for both analysts and AI agents.
  • Now in production with agent-first consumption: the People team queries certified data through AI agents in seconds, with governed data shares to Finance and additional data domains onboarding.
  • Built data privacy and security controls in from day one: row-level access, automated masking of protected-category and PII fields, column-level sensitivity classification, and credential-free deployment pipelines, making the warehouse audit-ready by design.
  • Delivered the build solo by orchestrating parallel AI coding agents behind mandatory adversarial review gates, compressing a multi-engineer, multi-quarter scope into a single-engineer project.
  • Stood up the People org's AI governance program: intake registry, review desk, and certification workflow for org-facing agent builds.
  • Redesigned the company's quarterly check-in as an agent-driven reflection tool and launched it company-wide.
  • Led AI enablement and change management for the People org: recurring office hours, build jams, and workshops for recruiters, executive assistants, and company-wide onboarding.

The Aspen Group · Director, People Analytics & AI

Jan 2023 to Mar 2026

Chicago / Dallas (Remote)

Promoted twice: Manager, Talent Acquisition Analytics → Senior Manager, People Analytics → Director, People Analytics & AI

  • Built and led the People Analytics function for a 23,000+ employee, multi-brand healthcare enterprise; managed a senior analyst and advised brand HR leaders and People CoE teams on talent investment decisions.
  • Implemented Dash Enterprise for People Analytics reporting, orchestrating parallel coding agents for dashboard buildouts, data pipelining, and requirements gathering.
  • Built workforce forecasting models that surfaced a surgery-capacity shortfall early, pulling Oral Surgeon hiring forward ahead of Q1 2026 demand.
  • Diagnosed pre-hire drop-off as a key revenue risk; the resulting dedicated Onboarding team drove 50 additional doctor starts year over year, worth $55M in Finance-modeled incremental revenue.
  • Governed the enterprise Workday reporting estate (950+ custom reports, 500+ calculated fields, 20+ dashboards), and chaired the Report Writing Committee setting conventions for 80+ analysts.
