About Me

Austin Rose

My career tells a story of natural analytical curiosity evolving into People Analytics leadership. Starting in recruiting and business development roles, I was always the person asking 'what does the data say?'—tracking conversion rates, analyzing reply rates to outreach, and looking for ways to optimize processes.

That curiosity led to increasingly data-focused recruiting roles at companies like Chime, where I scaled a Data Analytics team from 16 to 59 analysts while using funnel data to improve hiring processes. The transition to a dedicated People Analytics role at The Aspen Group was a natural next step—finally getting to focus entirely on the analytical work I'd been drawn to all along.

Now, with three years leading People Analytics for a 23,000+ employee organization, I'm ready to go deeper technically. I'm not looking to abandon the strategic partnership and business impact—I want to pair it with more sophisticated analytical methods and stronger technical fundamentals.

What Makes Me Different

Strategic Partnership

I don't just deliver reports - I embed myself with stakeholders to understand their real problems. Through ongoing conversations with HR and business leaders, I've become a trusted advisor, not just a data provider.

Curiosity-Driven

I dig into challenging business problems. The most impactful recommendations don't often come from requests, they come from naturally exploring critical data and connecting the dots.

Hands-On Builder

Leading analytics for a 23K+ employee organization with a lean team, I'm hands-on each and every day. There's no room for pure strategy - I'm in the data, writing queries, building dashboards, and iterating on forecasts.
