Assistant Organisation Design & Change Practitioner (People Data & Insight Focus)

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a highly analytical and curious interim Organisation Design & Change Practitioner to join a forward-thinking People & Culture function. This is not a traditional reporting role. You’ll be at the forefront of turning HR and organisational data into meaningful insight, helping shape how the organisation designs itself for the future. You’ll work alongside Organisation Design practitioners to support complex change programmes—interrogating workforce data, building intuitive dashboards, and crucially, drawing out the “so what?” behind the numbers to inform real business decisions.

If you’re someone who enjoys going beyond surface-level metrics to uncover patterns, tell compelling stories with data, and influence organisational design, this role offers a unique platform to do so.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Analyse and interpret complex HR and organisational data (e.g. workforce metrics, spans/layers, cost, capability) to generate clear, actionable insight.
• Build dashboards and data visualisations (e.g. in Excel/Power BI) that don’t just display data but drive understanding and decision-making.
• Translate data outputs into practical recommendations, conclusions and options for organisation design.
• Support organisation design reviews by developing evidence-led models, scenarios and workforce structures.
• Combine qualitative and quantitative inputs (e.g. workshop outputs, diagnostics, research) into coherent insight packs for senior stakeholders.
• Conduct organisational diagnostics to identify key issues, trends and performance drivers.
• Present findings in a clear, engaging way—helping non-technical audiences understand complex data.
• Collaborate closely with OD practitioners, People Partners and transformation teams to shape organisation design outcomes.
• Continuously improve how people data is gathered, analysed and used across transformation programmes.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience working with HR, people or organisational data.
• Strong ability to interpret data, identify trends and draw meaningful conclusions (not just report outputs).
• Confidence in challenging assumptions and asking “what does this really mean?”.
• Ability to turn data into clear narratives, insights and recommendations.
• Experience producing high-quality dashboards and reports that influence decisions.
• Strong communication skills—making complex analysis accessible to senior stakeholders.
• Advanced Excel and/or Power BI (or similar tools).
• Experience building dashboards and performing both quantitative and qualitative analysis.
• Understanding of organisation design, HR metrics or change environments.
• Experience supporting transformation or organisational change initiatives.

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll play a critical role in shaping organisation design decisions through insight—not just reporting.
• You’ll work on complex, high-impact change programmes across a large organisation.
• You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-looking team that values evidence-based decision-making.
• You’ll have the opportunity to develop both analytical depth and strategic influence.

What Success Looks Like

• Decision-makers actively rely on your analysis to shape organisational structures.
• Your dashboards and insight packs clearly articulate risks, trade-offs, and opportunities.
• You’re known for bringing clarity, challenge, and meaningful conclusions to complex data.
