Description
The Role
We are looking for a People and Workforce Intelligence Lead to transform how the Group uses data, technology and AI to make smarter people and workforce investment decisions. Reporting into the Global Director, Total Rewards and People Science - this is not a traditional HR reporting role. The mandate is to build an enterprise-wide People Sciences capability that combines statistical analysis, decision modelling, technology adoption and AI-enabled automation to improve organizational performance, productivity and return on people's investment.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on expert, a rigorous thinker, and a builder who thrives in ambiguity.
Key Responsibilities
- People Sciences Strategy: Define and execute the enterprise-wide roadmap, progressing from descriptive and diagnostic analytics to predictive insights, statistical testing and prescriptive decision models.
- Workforce Decision Intelligence: Analyze large and complex datasets, identify emerging risks and opportunities, and develop models to guide workforce planning, organizational design, rewards, productivity and capital allocation.
- Enterprise Technology & Adoption: Drive the implementation, adoption and optimization of enterprise platforms such as Workday in support of Total Rewards
- AI & Digital Labor: Leverage LLMs, AI agents and automation to augment human capabilities, simplify workflows, improve decision-making and scaling .
- Executive Insights: Translate complex analysis into compelling storyboards, visualizations and actionable recommendations that help leaders make informed investment decisions.
- Capability Building: Lead a small specialist team, establish analytical standards and serve as a trusted expert who constructively challenges assumptions and conventional thinking.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in enterprise people analytics, decision science, HR technology or data-led transformation.
- Experience driving enterprise-wide adoption of Workday or comparable platforms.
- Strong quantitative capabilities, including statistical modelling, hypothesis testing, scenario analysis, and working with large datasets.
- Understanding AI, LLMs, and their practical application to enterprise processes.
- Proficiency in BI tools; knowledge of SQL, Python and AI development frameworks is an advantage.
- Ability to operate as both a hands-on expert and thought leader of a small, high-performing team.
- Exceptional attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, comfort with ambiguity, and the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders.
What Success Looks Like
Build a People Sciences function that moves the Group from reporting what happened to anticipating what matters, recommending where to invest and using technology and digital labor to scale execution. We value intellectual rigor, practical problem-solving, and demonstrated impact over traditional HR career paths.
