About the Role
The People Analytics and Reward Analyst will improve the quality and consistency of People data across the Group, transforming the data into clear, actionable insight that supports workforce planning, reward decisions and the effective management of people costs.
An initial priority will be to cleanse and align employee data, working closely with HR systems and other stakeholders to improve the way information is captured and maintained within PeopleXD HR system. The role will also provide analysis and modelling to support pay, benefits, pensions and workforce planning, helping People and Finance teams operate from a shared, trusted view of the workforce and its associated costs.
This is a hands-on analyst role. The postholder will interpret data, identify trends and insights, challenge assumptions constructively, and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations. They will support senior colleagues in developing reward approaches and making informed decisions that contribute to the Group’s strategic workforce objectives.
