About the role

Are you passionate about working with large datasets and telling exciting stories through data? Do you enjoy "interrogating" the numbers in your quest for facts? Are you bothered with the "chaos" and in constant search for patterns, where there is nothing more satisfying than seeing the numbers match?

If you see yourself in any of the above statements, or you have spotted the intentional typing error we made that bothered you a bit, then you just might be the person we are searching for!

We're on the hunt for a Lead Business Intelligence Analyst who's ready to take our People Analytics game from great to exceptional. If you are reliable, love translating data into visual storytelling and thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment, keep reading.

You will be a part of the HR Strategy, Transformation & Digital function, based in Doha, Qatar and supporting recently established HRBI team that is tasked with an exciting mission.

Your mission?

• Supercharge HR decision-making with creating and maintaining insightful dashboards and deep-dive analytics.
• Collaborate internally and externally to centralize HR data across all business functions and over a variety of robust HR systems into our Data Warehouse.
• Work with massive datasets to uncover trends in hiring, attrition, mobility and more.
• Shape the future of People Analytics, integrating AI-driven insights, forecasting and automation.
• Be a trusted advisor to our stakeholders, delivering insights that have the potential to influence major workforce strategies.

What makes this role exciting?

• Your work will be seen by 500+ colleagues (and growing), including our leadership. That's right - the C-suite will rely on YOUR insights.
• You'll build and improve real-time dashboards, used to make an impact that matters.
• You'll have the freedom to innovate and express your creativity. Got an idea for a new KPI or visualization? Lets make it happen.
• You'll be relied upon to act independently in delivering some game-changing projects.

This advertisement can't be long enough to tell you about the exciting opportunities we offer. Your input will help shape decisions that affect 60,000+ employees worldwide (you saw it right, six followed by four more zeros). Your ability to grow and build your skills (and experience) is limited only by your imagination.

Other tasks (as instructed by the Department Head and/or CPO) are always possible, but we promise they all will be equally interesting.

One more thing - Did we happen to mention the role is for the nine times World's Best Airline? You know numbers don't lie and let's be honest - working with the best must be exciting!

So, what are you waiting for?

Together, everything is possible

We Love Data, We Love Storytelling. But We Also Love People Who Actually Read Job Ads In Detail. Here Is a Little Puzzle To Solve

A company has 10,000 employees who, on average, spend 5 hours per month in meetings, per employee. 10% of the company never has a single hour of meeting. Based on the above, how many hours can be expected to be spent on meetings across the company annually?

Include this statement in the footer of your CV: "The answer to the HRBI puzzle is ___". If you get it right, and if you've red this far, you are already ahead!
