This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you will design, build, and deploy AI-augmented analytics products that drive workforce effectiveness and organisational performance. You bring deep HR domain fluency, a flair for compelling data storytelling, and proven experience turning complex workforce data into strategies that senior leaders actually act on. You will be a key partner to HRIS, IT, and global business leaders sitting at the intersection of data engineering, business insight, and AI-powered tooling.
Responsibilities:
Lead the full lifecycle of people analytics projects from gathering stakeholder requirements to delivering scalable, validated, and actionable insights that guide business and talent strategy.
Design, build, and deploy executive-ready analytics dashboards by leveraging AI and GenAI tools (including Claude) to rapidly prototype and implement custom web-based solutions delivering intelligent, self-serve analytics experiences without the constraints of traditional BI platforms.
Explore, prototype, and deploy AI-powered analytics solutions to support workforce planning, attrition prediction, and people insights at scale.
Partner with HRIS, IT, and business leaders to drive data integrity, governance, and seamless integration across core HR systems (e. g., Workday and Greenhouse), ensuring the analytical foundation is reliable and audit-ready.
Translate complex data findings into compelling narratives and strategic recommendations for senior leadership and cross-functional teams, making the story behind the numbers as rigorous as the numbers themselves.
Serve as an internal subject matter expert on HR processes, including talent acquisition, performance, compensation, engagement, and workforce planning, ensuring analytics outputs are grounded in real people strategy, not just data availability.
Set standards for analytical excellence, promote AI literacy across the People team, and upskill stakeholders on how to interpret and act on AI-generated insights.
Champion a culture of data-driven inquiry and continuous improvement, proactively identifying new opportunities to apply analytics where it creates the most organisational value.
Requirements:
Demonstrated wide-ranging experience in a people or workforce analytics function, with a strong track record of leading complex, end-to-end analytical projects from ambiguous problems to clear business outcomes.
8+ years of experience in data and analytics, paired with a deep understanding of core HR functions, including talent acquisition, workforce planning, total rewards, engagement, and performance management, enabling you to connect data to people strategy without heavy hand-holding from HR partners.
Hands-on experience building and deploying AI and ML-powered dashboards or analytics tools to support workforce planning, attrition prediction, and people insights at scale.
Strong technical skills in data modelling and advanced analysis using SQL and Python, comfortable operating at both the strategic and the query level.
Outstanding communication and executive presence able to translate complex data into a clear narrative that drives decisions at the senior leadership level.
Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders without authority: you turn analytics findings into decisions, not just slide decks.
A mentoring mindset and the ability to act as a technical subject matter expert, driving high standards for data quality, analytical rigour, and responsible use of AI-generated insights.
