The role

The Senior Workforce Insights Analyst focuses on transforming complex workforce and organisational data into meaningful insights that guide people strategy, capability planning, and executive decision‑making. Unlike operational reporting roles, this position focuses on strategic analysis, workforce futures, scenario modelling and long‑term strategic insight. The role involves interpreting patterns, risks, and opportunities across workforce dynamics and shaping these into clear narratives, scenarios, and strategic advice that support organisational transformation and long‑term workforce sustainability.

A key part of the role is developing forward‑looking insights, scenarios and strategic narratives that connect workforce data with organisational priorities, economic conditions and policy contexts. You will analyse internal workforce patterns alongside external labour market trends to identify emerging risks, capability needs and future workforce opportunities.

Success in the role requires synthesising diverse data sources, balancing competing stakeholder priorities, and staying current with evolving analytics technologies and workforce trends. Applicants will draw on qualitative and quantitative analysis to identify systemic challenges, interpret labour market signals, and influence strategic workforce planning, while collaborating across teams to ensure insights are aligned, credible, and impactful.

You will partner closely with executives and senior HR leaders to shape workforce questions, influence strategic priorities and present evidence‑based advice that supports long‑term workforce sustainability.

• Demonstrated ability to develop strategic narratives, insights papers and foresight products that support executive decision‑making and organisational transformation.

Key knowledge and experience 

• Demonstrated experience in workforce analytics, people insights, or strategic data storytelling. 

• Expertise in applying data visualisation and analysis tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent)
