Your Key Responsibilities And Impact
Supported by the Senior Principal Data Analyst, you’ll collaborate with HR Business Partners and BBC business units to discover, define, design, and implement both operational and analytical reporting across the entire resource scheduling lifecycle. You will play a key role in developing a strategic operational data capability, fully integrated with the existing HR People Analytics function.
In this role, you’ll be involved in all stages of the data product lifecycle. This includes identifying and analysing data sources, designing conceptual and physical data models, defining business-relevant measures and attributes, and producing deep dive analysis and operational reporting.
You’ll take ownership of implementation and adoption, working closely with teams across technology, product, and systems to ensure that processes, systems, and data products are effectively planned, developed, and delivered.
You’ll also be responsible for communicating insights and analysis generated from the data products you’ve built with key stakeholders from within the business, playing a vital role in supporting strategic changes to operational practices.
If you’re passionate about data and analytics, love solving complex problems, and want to be part of a high-performing team delivering critical work—let’s talk!
