Job Description

Mercer is seeking candidates for the following position. This is a remote based role:

Skills Architect

What can you expect?

As a skills architect you will shape the way companies look at their job descriptions in a new and informative way.

* Skills are the currency of business and employees bring many skills to their roles, but clearly articulating which skills roles need and how those skills create opportunities for employees while contributing to business strategy has not yet been easily understood
* Enter the skills architect! This role will have responsibility for creation, maintenance, and continuous curation for Mercer client usage
* Your responsibilities will include data mining in various sources to select skills for jobs that are meaningful, clearly defined, and indicate the trend of skills needs

What is in it for you?

* Mercer is a globally recognized leader in human capital and benefits consulting
* We run many new-hire events and employee networks. Having fun in the work you do comes from being part of a great team and contributing to its success

We will count on you to:

* Analyze skills data from unstructured sources to understand patterns and trends to indicate which skills are relevant for various purposed roles
* Define skills to ensure application of the skills on roles is meaningful to users (is communication a skill that is the same in finance as it is in engineering?)
* Categorize skills by hard, soft, competencies, certifications, experiences, to help clients use skill sets within existing frameworks and various applications
* Learn different taxonomies and create crosswalks between those that differ

What you need to have:

* BA/BS degree
* Professional Experience Minimum 3 years
* Ability to organize a process and plan for detailed data analysis
* Ability to collaborate with experts in compensation, job design, consultants, and data scientists across domestic and international teams
