You will translate problems into analytics-driven solutions, build models and data products, lead engagements, and help clients improve pay equity and talent planning while upholding governance and interpretability.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of relevant consulting experience in workforce strategy, HR analytics, labor economics, organizational psychology, or a closely related field.
• Master’s or PhD in economics, I-O psychology, statistics, data science, computer science, labor relations, or another quantitative discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in pay equity analysis, strategic workforce planning, external labor market analysis, or comparable workforce consulting engagements.
• Strong statistical and machine learning skills: regression, causal inference, time series, clustering, and predictive modeling.
• Proficiency in modern data tooling and languages (e.g., Python, R, SQL) and experience with visualization tools (e.g., Tableau).
• Hands-on experience extracting value from large and varied datasets and translating technical outputs into business actions.
• Excellent storytelling, client-facing communication, and project leadership skills.

Responsibilities

• Translate business problems into analytics-driven workforce solutions using qualitative research, advanced statistics, and AI-enabled methods to uncover workforce dynamics and strategic opportunities.
• Design, build, and operationalize analytic models and data products (e.g., forecasting models, skills taxonomies, retention risk scoring, internal mobility recommendations) that leverage structured data, unstructured text, and third-party labor market signals.
• Lead client engagements as the analytics and AI subject-matter lead: define analytic approaches, present findings, translate insights into prioritized workforce investments, and co-create implementation roadmaps with client stakeholders.
• Drive pay equity, strategic workforce planning, and external labor market analyses using econometrics and AI-enhanced approaches; quantify business impact and ROI for recommended interventions.
• Create and deliver clear, compelling deliverables—interactive dashboards, visualizations, client-ready slide decks, and data stories—using best practices in interpretability and design so technical results are actionable for HR and business leaders.
• Ensure responsible AI use: implement model validation, bias detection and mitigation, explainability techniques, privacy-preserving practices, and documentation consistent with client and regulatory requirements.
• Contribute to Marsh's intellectual capital: create reusable AI-enabled frameworks, client accelerators, proposals, and thought leadership that reflect emerging practice in AI-driven workforce strategy.
