You will act as the “engine” of the team, owning the development and maintenance of data products, such as dashboards and datasets, while supporting the People team and business stakeholders in drawing insights from data.

You will be a key partner to the People team, handling complex reporting requests while building the tools that empower them to self-serve their simpler data needs.

This is an ideal position for a business-savvy and detail-oriented analyst who loves to build, investigate, and deliver results.

• Driving a data-driven culture: As an enabler, you will foster an effective data mindset and drive positive behaviours regarding People data through training and support.

• Ensuring data quality: You will think critically about the accuracy and clarity of people's data, helping us build and maintain a reliable single source of truth.

• Advancing the value of People Analytics: You will help us go beyond descriptive analytics, utilizing advanced technologies and methods to inform, measure, and deliver our people strategy.

Growth Opportunities:

We want you to grow with us. As you master the core of this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Own the Product Lifecycle: Expand beyond just "building" dashboards to own the full product development cycle, from gathering requirements and design to managing communications and enablement.

• Conduct Diagnostic & Prescriptive Analyses: Go beyond what happened to understand why. Conduct deep-dive analyses into our most complex challenges.

• Become an Internal People Analytics Consultant: Act as a strategic partner, working directly with teams to investigate questions and solve business problems using data.

• Leverage Advanced Analytical Methods: Get hands-on experience testing and applying advanced methods, including statistical analysis, machine learning, and AI.

Key Requirements:

• Experience as a Data Analyst or in a similar role.

• Strong SQL skills with experience querying and transforming complex datasets.

• Proficiency with a data visualisation tool (preference for Looker).

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into clear, compelling stories for non-technical stakeholders.

• An enablement-focused and collaborative mindset, with a passion for not just answering questions but teaching others how to find answers themselves.

• A proactive, curious attitude with a strong desire to learn and grow.

• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
