  • Identify trends, risks, and opportunities from data analysis.
  • Coordinate brainstorming sessions and proactively share initiatives to improve employee experience.
• Presentation & Communication Development
  • Design and develop professional, visually compelling slide decks tailored for various audiences, including firm‑wide updates, key stakeholder briefings, and senior leadership presentations.
  • Translate data and HR insights into clear, concise visuals and narratives.
  • Support storytelling through data by connecting insights to strategic objectives and recommended actions.
• Process Improvement & Systems Support
  • Identify opportunities to improve data processes.
  • Support the introduction, integration and optimisation of HR systems/tools in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
• Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
  • Work closely with internal teams and key stakeholders to ensure data accuracy and alignment.
  • Maintain strong relationships with stakeholders across the business to support the effective delivery of HR services and projects.
  • Act as a thought partner to HR and business stakeholders, helping them understand what the data means and how it can inform decision‑making.
