This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about using data to make a difference. You'll be the trusted expert connecting our People teams, leaders and central data specialists, ensuring workforce data is accurate, insightful and drives action across the business.

What You'll Be Doing:

As our People Insight Partner, you'll be the voice of the People data domain within Aster's hub-and-spoke data operating model. You'll champion the use of data across the People function, helping colleagues and leaders move beyond reporting to understand the story behind the numbers.

Working closely with Business Intelligence, Data Governance and IT colleagues, you'll help shape and continuously improve our people reporting landscape, ensuring data is trusted, well-governed and aligned to business priorities.

You'll:

• Lead the development of people insight and analytics across Aster.
• Champion the adoption and effective use of Power BI within the People function.
• Transform complex workforce data into clear, engaging narratives that support strategic and operational decision-making.
• Deliver meaningful insight into workforce trends, risks, opportunities and performance.

• A strong understanding of data governance, data quality and reporting standards.
• Experience collaborating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Advanced Excel and data manipulation skills.
• Knowledge of GDPR and UK employment data reporting requirements.
• The confidence to challenge, influence and build credible relationships at all levels.
• Excellent report-writing and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex information in a simple and engaging way.

This is a hybrid role, enabling you to base yourself from home if you wish. Travel will be required from time to time so being happy to travel within our operating region is a must.

Our operating region includes Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and London.

What's in it for me:
