The role

• Global Platforms operates at significant scale (~600 people), requiring a live, accurate, view of workforce composition, allocation, cost, and capability.

• This role is responsible for building and maintaining that view — enabling leadership to understand who we have, where they are deployed, how their time is spent, and how this aligns to investment, delivery and efficiency outcomes.

Workforce Efficiency & Ratio Analysis:

• Identify opportunities to improve operating model efficiency and effectiveness

Data Platform, Tooling & AI Enablement:

• Own and evolve the People Data ecosystem, including data pipelines across HR, Finance, and Engineering systems; dashboards and reporting layers

• Design scalable, AI-enabled approaches to automate insights generation, improve data quality management, and enable self-service access for leadership

• Reduce manual reporting overhead and dependency risks.

Leadership Support & Insight Generation:

• Act as a trusted partner to Global Platforms leadership

• Translate complex data into clear narratives, actionable insights and decision-ready outputs

• Support strategic initiatives with robust workforce data and modelling

• Ability to connect data to commercial and operational outcomes

• Strong stakeholder management (Tech + Finance + HR)

• Excellent presentation and storytelling skills, with the ability to adapt messaging for diverse audiences including senior stakeholders, delivering output that is clear and succinct despite the subject being complex.
