What you’ll be doing:

• Partnering with stakeholders to identify priorities and deliver impactful insights
• Leading projects that provide data-driven recommendations to inform workforce strategy
• Supporting strategic workforce planning, modelling, and forecasting to align capability needs
• Coaching HR teams and embedding data and insights principles across the organisation
• Developing advanced analytics capability, including predictive modelling and AI applications
• Driving improvements in data governance, quality, and accessibility for better decision-making
• Coordinating people data submissions and ensuring compliance with GDPR and ethical standards
• Collaborating with change programmes to enable data-driven transformation

Qualifications

Who we’re looking for:

• Strong experience in workforce planning, people analytics, and data reporting
• Ability to interpret complex data and communicate insights clearly to senior stakeholders
• Knowledge of HR policies, data protection, and information governance requirements
• Proficiency in data analytics tools (Power BI, Alteryx) and familiarity with predictive modelling
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across multiple business areas
• Flexibility to work in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Project management experience delivering data or technology initiatives
• A degree in a technical or analytical discipline (or equivalent experience)

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
• At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
• Competitive family leave
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
• There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

Additional Information
