Job description

People Solutions - Data Specialist - Fixed Term Contract

Luton

What you'll be doing

As the People Solutions – Data Specialist, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, quality, and compliance of people data across our HR systems—most notably Workday, but also platforms like Taleo, Peakon, and our LMS. Working at the intersection of systems, compliance, and analytics, you’ll be responsible for maintaining well-governed, reliable data that supports both operational delivery and strategic insight. You’ll help implement controls and frameworks to ensure data is managed securely and responsibly, in line with GDPR and local union or works council requirements. A key part of your focus will be on access management, privacy notices, and integration accuracy, especially as we evolve our systems landscape. In the first few months, around half of your time will be dedicated to Project Nexus, ensuring that future-state data structures and integrations meet our standards for quality, reporting, and compliance. Reporting to the People Solutions Manager and working closely with cross-functional partners like IT, Legal, Reward, and the Central Data Office, you’ll translate governance principles into real-world actions—embedding strong data foundations that support both daily operations and long-term transformation.

What you need to do the role

To succeed in this role, you’ll need a strong understanding of data governance and compliance—particularly around GDPR and union agreements—and be confident working across systems like Workday, AIMS, CVP, and other HR platforms. You’ll bring a structured, analytical approach to solving problems and improving processes, using tools like root cause analysis and process mapping. Collaboration is key, as you'll be working closely with HR, IT, Legal, the Central Data Office, and Reporting teams to ensure data is well-managed, compliant, and aligned across the business. You’ll also need to be detail-oriented, proactive, and able to embed data quality practices into change projects. Strong communication skills are essential, particularly when explaining technical data challenges to non-technical colleagues. Experience in fast-paced, regulated, or unionised environments—especially within the airline or customer-facing sectors—will also be valuable, along with a user-focused mindset that balances compliance with operational clarity and ease of use.

What we offer in return

• Competitive base salary
• Up to 20% bonus
• 25 days holiday – Pro-Rated
• BAYE, SAYE & Performance share schemes
• 5% pension
• Life Assurance
• Flexible benefits package
• Excellent staff travel benefits
