Metrics & Reporting
- Own the global people metrics catalogue: definitions, calculation logic, and ownership for headcount, attrition, hiring, mobility, diversity, and related measures.
- Lead the move from custom report requests to self-serve reporting, rationalising legacy reports into a small set of governed master reports with role-based access.
- Own management and executive reporting for People & Culture leadership, the Senior Leadership Team, and Finance, on a consistent monthly and quarterly cadence.
- Define the reporting dimensions that must hold across every layer: organisation structure, job classification, location, supervisory hierarchy, and grade.
- Ensure historical trends survive organisation restructures and employee ID changes.
- Put export guardrails and access controls in place, reducing reliance on uncontrolled data extracts.
Data Governance & Quality
- Establish and run the people data governance framework: decision rights, data ownership, stewardship, and a clear RACI across People Analytics, HR process owners, IT, and Finance.
- Own the semantic layer standards and data dictionary for people data.
- Lead monthly headcount reconciliation with Finance and resolve differences between HR and Finance figures at source.
- Build a data quality programme with measurable rules, scorecards, root-cause fixes, and accountable owners in the HR process teams.
- Work with Data Protection and Legal on GDPR and local privacy requirements, including access, retention, and cross-border data use.
- Maintain documentation, lineage, and change control for reports, metrics, and data pipelines.
Leadership and partnership
- Lead and develop a distributed team across both functions, setting clear priorities and standards.
- Act as the senior counterpart to HRIS, IT data engineering, and Finance on reporting and data decisions, including HRIS programme milestones.
- Prioritise demand transparently and say no to requests that duplicate governed reporting.
- Partner with the Analytics and AI teams so advanced analytics builds on governed, reusable data rather than one-off extracts.
- Build a regular interlock with business and functional leaders to understand their decisions, agree the measures that matter, and turn governed reporting into insight.

- Extensive hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric, including data engineering, lakehouse, and semantic models.
- Proven ability to work through disparate data sets from HR, Finance, and other enterprise systems, and bring them into a single, governed semantic layer.
