About the role

  • - Function Architecture: Design and implement our first dedicated People Analytics function. You will lead the transition from manual "offline trackers" to a sophisticated, automated reporting ecosystem that serves as the backbone of the People Strategy.
  • - Data Governance & Integrity: Act as the guardian of people data. You will establish robust validation checks to eliminate discrepancies (e.g., between Finance and People data) and ensure 100% Board-level reporting accuracy.
  • - Strategic Insights & Storytelling: Translate complex, raw data into digestible visual narratives and "People Health" dashboards. Your work will enable the Executive team to make high-stakes, real-time decisions at pace.
  • - Regulatory & Statutory Leadership: Own the end-to-end delivery of critical statutory reporting, including Gender Pay Gap and Pillar 3 disclosures. You will ensure our controls are robust to satisfy internal risk frameworks and external regulators.
  • - Operational Efficiencies Design and deploy self-service tools and MI Inventories. This will empower People Partners and Managers to access high-quality insights independently, reducing the manual burden on the core team.
  • - Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with the central Technology Data team to integrate People data into the wider Starling Data Warehouse. You will identify opportunities to automate manual modeling and data cutting.

Requirements

  • - "Builder" Track Record: Proven experience building a People Analytics capability from the ground up within a high-growth Tech or highly regulated Financial Services environment.
  • - Analytical Rigor: Extensive experience interpreting complex datasets to provide actionable commercial insights, not just raw numbers.
  • - Technical Toolkit: Proficiency in data visualisation tools (specifically Looker) and an interest in automating data modeling through programming or advanced tooling.
  • - High Autonomy: Comfortable tackling ambiguous, complex problems and delivering cross-functional projects with minimal oversight.
  • - Communication & Influencing skills: Exceptional ability to communicate complex data findings to non-technical stakeholders (Board/Exec) in a clear and accessible manner.
  • - Workday Mastery: Deep expertise in Workday HRIS data structures and report writing would be nice to have.
Benefits
  • - 25 days holiday (plus take your public holiday allowance whenever works best for you)
  • - An extra day’s holiday for your birthday
  • - Annual leave is increased with length of service, and you can choose to buy or sell up to five extra days off
  • - 16 hours paid volunteering time a year
  • - Salary sacrifice, company enhanced pension scheme
  • - Life insurance at 4x your salary
  • - Private Medical Insurance with VitalityHealth including mental health support and cancer care. Partner benefits include discounts with Waitrose, Mr&Mrs Smith and Peloton
  • - Generous family-friendly policies
  • - Perkbox membership giving access to retail discounts, a wellness platform for physical and mental health, and weekly free and boosted perks
  • - Access to initiatives like Cycle to Work and Salary Sacrificed Gym partnerships
