The Role

This is not a traditional “back-office HR” position.

As a People & Culture Data and Systems Analyst, you will be central to the P&C Team, leveraging people data, systems insight, and business understanding to facilitate informed decision-making.

You will provide high-quality people data and operational insight throughout the entire employee lifecycle.

Key responsibilities include ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of people data, translating this information into meaningful insights for management, and acting as an HR enabler to support evidence-based decision-making. In addition, you will focus on continuously improving P&C processes, systems, and reporting to better facilitate growth. This role uniquely combines operational delivery, data analysis, and business partnering, making it an ideal opportunity for individuals looking to advance their careers in commercial HR while impacting business success through insightful data-driven strategies. If you thrive on understanding business dynamics, spotting data patterns, and transforming insights into actionable outcomes, this position is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the employee lifecycle, managing processes from offer to onboarding, probation, and exit.
• Create contracts, offer letters, probation outcomes, and exit documentation with precision.

• Leverage data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities within the recruitment process.
• Enhance the onboarding experience, recognising its critical role in shaping employee perceptions.
• Generate comprehensive reports that illuminate workforce trends, attrition, retention, and development needs for leadership insight.

Skills & Experience

We are seeking a dynamic HR professional with a blend of analytical skills, commercial awareness, and a solid foundation in HR operations. The ideal candidate will have a graduate-level background from a large organization’s HR graduate scheme or a management consultancy, coupled with early career HR experience that emphasizes systems and data exposure.

• Graduate-level experience from a large organisation HR graduate scheme, or a management consultancy with exposure to data, operations, or transformation.
