• Demonstrate commercial leadership by understanding and interpreting client requirements related to compensation fairness, incentives, employee base, and people analytics. Craft these problems into compelling client proposals.

Qualifications and experience that will lead to success

• Experience with statistical methods and analytical techniques, such as regression analysis, hypothesis testing, segmentation, trend analysis.
• Hands-on experience working with large and complicated HR, reward, compensation, and workforce datasets, ideally using Python, R, SQL, or analogous tools for data manipulation, analysis, and quality assurance.
• Significant experience delivering analytical work in consulting and/or corporate analytics environments, ideally in pay equity, compensation, workforce, HR, or people analytics, with exposure to sophisticated client datasets and multi-country contexts.
• Strong capability in data visualisation, dashboarding, and insight communication, including tools such as Tableau or Power BI, demonstrating skill in distilling pay equity, reward, and workforce analyses into clear and decision-useful outputs.
• A meticulous and curious analytical mind, with strong attention to detail, good judgement on data limitations, and a proactive approach to solving technically and commercially intricate problems.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical methods, findings, and limitations clearly to non-technical interested parties and senior audiences.

The expected salary for the role is within an indicative range of 46,300.00 - 69,500.00, based on the candidate's experience and seniority.
