• Employee Experience: Analyze and synthesise employee engagement, retention, mobility, and development data to identify opportunities to enhance culture, improve retention, and optimise career pathways
• Special projects: Lead ad‑hoc insights projects, often requiring quantitative and qualitative analysis, research, and relentless curiosity, a willingness to learn, and an action‑oriented approach
• Strategic Workforce Planning: Partner with HR, Finance, and business leaders to model workforce scenarios, forecast talent needs, and guide organisational design decisions that balance business growth with cost efficiency
• Experimentation and Continuous Improvement: Establish measurement frameworks and clear KPIs for people programmes, policies, and initiatives (e.g., onboarding, learning, performance management) to drive evidence‑based iterations. Promote data and analytic best practices company‑wide, ensuring our technology and approaches reflect the latest trends
• Data Integrity and Governance: Oversee the quality, security, and ethical use of people data, championing global standards and compliance across regions (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations)
• People Analytics Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and grow a high‑performing team of analysts with a balance of strategic advisory capabilities and deep technical expertise

What We’re Looking For

• BS in a quantitative field such as math, physics, economics, or computer science (MS preferred)
• 7 to 10 years of experience in data science, technology, or analytics, with several of those in People Analytics and/or Machine Learning
• Strong foundation in probability, statistics, and machine learning, with a broad understanding of techniques for different applications
