We champion the belief that everyone’s journey to and through retirement can be better, and for more than 200 years, we’ve been helping our customers plan and prepare for their financial futures.

We offer our colleagues flexibility, trust and benefits that work for whatever life brings. In return we expect curiosity, connection, accountability and high standards. We make room for what matters - so you can bring your best, every day.

The role:

• As a People Analytics Consultant at Standard Life, you will work with Head of People Analytics & Insights, alongside a small team of other People Analytics Consultants to:
• Partner with key stakeholders to align on current and future needs.
• Help educate the wider People Function and beyond in becoming ever-increasingly data-driven in their decision making.
• Deliver insight by identifying and supporting strategically aligned projects that inform organisational decision making.

You will utilise our cutting-edge systems, including people analytics tools like Visier, OrgVue, and Peakon, as well as our core HR system – Oracle HCM Cloud. You will be innovative, curious and willing to challenge the status quo, with a passion for delighting customers. This is a critical role, where your contributions matter!

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with key stakeholders (including Directors and Heads of HR, HRBPs, HR Centres of Excellence and the wider business) to understand their strategic goals and identify & prioritise analyses aligned to these strategic goals.
• Identify the underlying question(s) behind these analyses and make a recommendation for how to deliver true insights.
• Develop and deliver key in-depth analysis of workforce data to identify trends, patterns, and correlations.
• Interpret the findings and translate them into easy-to-understand, actionable insights for a general business audience.
• Connect data insights with the organization's business strategies and provide recommendations for workforce improvements.
• Establish and maintain a People Analytics operating rhythm including KPI reporting outputs, presentations, scheduled reports, etc.
• Design and deliver end-user training and training materials as needed, providing technical and data support as necessary supporting our analytics platforms (Visier, OrgVue, Peakon and Oracle HCM Cloud).
• Demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning and personal development.
• Stay current with the latest trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in people analytics.
• Look for opportunities to optimize the team’s processes and workflows.

What are we looking for?

• Experience in People Analytics teams, with demonstrable ability to “tell the story” using data, and a deep understanding of the Employee Lifecycle, including how to measure culture.
• Experience managing a wide range of stakeholders across multiple departments and at multiple levels.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate business strategic priorities into the design & delivery of actionable insights from both qualitative and quantitative data.
• A background in more advanced analytical techniques (e.g. segmentation, organisational network analysis, predictive modelling, etc.) would be beneficial, especially in the context of workforce data.
• Experience using cloud People Analytics systems, in particular Visier and OrgVue, colleague listening tools such as Peakon, as well as cloud core HR systems (Oracle HCM Cloud is preferred).

We want to hire the whole version of you. We are committed to ensuring that everyone feels accepted and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
