Job description

Are you passionate about turning data into compelling stories that shape real business decisions? Join our People Insight team as a People Insight Analyst and play a pivotal role in delivering meaningful reporting and analytics that directly influence how we understand and develop our people. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of a modern, data-led transformation, helping to evolve reporting into a highly automated, scalable and insight-driven model. You will work with cutting-edge tools, building dashboards and reporting solutions that empower stakeholders to make informed decisions quickly and confidently. You will collaborate with teams across the business, translating complex data into clear, actionable insights, helping leaders spot trends, identify risks and unlock opportunities. Your work will have tangible impact, whether responding to ad hoc insight requests, supporting strategic analytics roadmaps, or enabling self-service reporting. This role offers excellent development potential. You will strengthen your skills in data storytelling, analytics, and automation, while gaining exposure to strategic business partnering and statutory reporting requirements. You will also contribute to building capability across the People function, helping others unlock the power of data. If you thrive on solving problems, enjoy working with stakeholders, and take pride in delivering accurate, trusted insights, this is a highly rewarding role where your work truly matters.

Requirements

  • Experience producing automated dashboards or reports (e.g. using Excel formulas or Power BI) within a business environment
  • Proven ability to manipulate and analyse large datasets, including data cleansing, validation and reconciliation of outputs against source systems (e.g. HR systems such as Dayforce)
  • Hands-on experience managing and responding to ad hoc stakeholder insight requests, including prioritising workload through ticketing, backlog or SLA-driven processes
  • Evidence of translating complex data into clear, actionable insights, for example presenting trends, risks or KPI performance to non-technical audiences
  • Working knowledge of people metrics (e.g. attrition, hiring, absence, diversity data) or similar operational KPIs, and experience supporting regular or statutory reporting cycles
