People Data & Systems Analyst

We're now looking for a People Data & Systems Analyst to play a pivotal role in shaping how people data drives meaningful action across our business.

This is a critical position within our People team, focused on turning complex people data into clear, commercial insight. You'll own and optimise our people systems (including Sage People), lead our people analytics capability, and act as a trusted partner to stakeholders across People, Finance, Technology and Operations.

It's a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both the technical detail and the so-what using data to proactively influence decisions, improve performance and strengthen our people strategy.

People Systems Ownership

• Act as the super user for our HR system (Sage People), ensuring data accuracy, governance and usability.

• Own system configuration, workflows, upgrades, testing and issue resolution.

• Manage data flows and integrations between HR systems and wider platforms (e.g. finance or engagement tools).

• Continuously improve and automate employee lifecycle processes.

People Analytics & Insight

• Design, build and maintain impactful Power BI dashboards that tell a clear story.

• Translate people data into actionable insight across performance, attrition, engagement, DE&I, workforce planning and compliance.

• Create strong narrative reporting that links people metrics to commercial and operational outcomes.

• Enable self-service reporting for HR, leaders and managers.

Data, Governance & Improvement

• Champion data quality, GDPR compliance and consistent data standards.

• Maintain data definitions, documentation and a people data dictionary.

• Proactively identify trends, risks and opportunities, and recommend solutions.

• Partner on people, systems and reporting projects to improve data maturity across the function.

Essential

• Experience in a People Analytics, HR Data, Systems or Reporting role.

• Strong Power BI capability (data modelling, DAX, dataflows, optimisation).

• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with complex datasets.

• Proven ability to translate data into insight and action, not just reports.

• Good understanding of HR data and metrics across the employee lifecycle.

• A proactive, curious mindset with strong stakeholder engagement skills.

Desirable

• Experience with Sage People (or similar HRIS).

• Broader systems experience, integrations and process automation.

• Exposure to Microsoft data platforms (e.g. Fabric) or willingness to learn.

• A genuine opportunity to shape people data capability in a growing organisation.

• High visibility work with real impact on decision-making.

• Collaborative, values-driven culture with room to innovate and improve.

• Commitment to inclusion, ethical data use and continuous development.
