About the role

Reporting to the People and OD Operations Manager, and working closely with the P&OD leadership team, acting in a leading capacity, your role will primarily focus on maintaining data quality and integrity, as well as collecting, analysing, and interpreting people-related data to identify trends, correlations, and patterns related to P&OD metrics and key performance indicators.
