They use their specialist expertise to help us attract great talent, enable our employees to succeed and inspire a unified culture of development across our firm. By playing a role in the recruitment and management of our people, they help change lives and influence the future of BDO. Join a driven and passionate team where you can be yourself, while also helping your colleagues to achieve their ambitions. We'll help you succeed Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships. You'll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO's partners to help businesses effectively. You'll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with. The People Analytics Senior Manager role encompasses owning and driving the People Analytics strategy at BDO and management of the People Analytics team (3 Analysts). The role will include working closely with stakeholders both in HR and the wider business including the Central Data Office, Finance, IT, Leadership Team and Partnership Office to develop, prioritise and implement project plans to deliver the people analytics strategy. This is a role that will also draw on your technical experience in order to design best in class analytical solutions using a wide range of software and tools. While a number of People Analytics solutions are already in place, we are looking for someone who can review the current offerings and make bold steps in how we can change/adapt our approach to embed the importance of People Analytics and find new and better ways to ensure it is central to HR decision making. Achieving this will involve strong stakeholder management and ownership of data literacy upskilling across HR. A knowledge of Workday reporting (including Slides, Sheets, PRISM & Discovery Boards) is essential although a working knowledge or experience in other analytical tools (such as Excel & PowerBI) would also be advantageous. The role will involve managing and prioritising incoming ideas and requests; challenging and influencing thinking in order to achieve optimum outcomes. It will also draw on your own thought leadership and ideas and see you finding new and innovative ways of using people data to support firm and HR strategy. In this role you'll also: Continue and enhance the People Analytics Strategy Project manage key projects for the team, including scope management, resource planning and stakeholder management Bring the best external thinking and connect these developments and ideas to help support firm and HR strategy Provide value adding analysis and commentary derived from key metrics, to highlight what is happening with our people around the firm and to inform future people strategies. Motivate, manage and develop a team of 3 analysts, ensuring their work output finds the right balance between delivering against firm needs and contributing to individual career progression Ensure that data is kept securely in line with the Firm's Data Policy and inline with GDPR. At BDO, we use the full suite of Workday reporting tools; standard reporting and dashboards, slides, worksheets, discovery boards and PRISM. Having strong knowledge of the various tools and when best to use which, is key to this role. We use a wide range of reporting tools and techniques because at BDO, we are 'full suite' Workday users. As such, an appreciation of how Workday HCM operates would be helpful (for us this includes recruitment, learning, peakon, talent & performance and reward/comp). Understanding how security works across Workday is essential to ensure access to data and analytical solutions are appropriate for our people. Additionally, it would be a useful to have a knowledge of Workday integrations and Workday Finance as well experience with tools such as PowerBI. The People Analytics team do not just build and deploy reporting solutions. A pre-requisite for this role is the ability to interpret data, identify trends and draw meaningful conclusions (and coach others in how to do this). Keeping abreast of evolving people analytics theory and its practical application would be expected. You'll also be someone with: Strong stakeholder management skills Strategy and planning experience, with adaptability (knowledge of agile methodology helpful) The ability to communicate with authority and influence Creativity in design and solutioning Integrity and a good knowledge of GDPR & data security Coaching skills You'll be able to be yourself; we'll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business.

You can also opt to study the BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis to take your studies a step further. 2. Once you have passed the 4 required exams you will be handed over to our recruitment team who will provide you with a professional CV and LinkedIn review, interview support, career advice and tailored support like mock interviews. 3. Our consultants work with you to identify the best opportunities available suited to you. Their tailored support helps you to prepare for interviews and perform at your best. Typically, you will start in a junior business analyst, junior analyst or a support/admin role in this sector. Business Analysts work closely with Project Managers and Change Managers and opportunities in these areas also exist which broadens the net in these sister sectors. To accommodate candidates, the training element of this package is available on finance terms to easily spread the cost of investing in your career. This enables you to get qualified without having to fund all the training costs upfront. In addition, we are so confident in our success with placing qualified candidates that we will refund the cost of the courses to anyone we are unable to place within 12 months of passing their required exams subject to our terms. To get your journey started, enquire now and one of our experienced Course and Career Consultants will contact you within 4 working hours to answer any questions that you may have and to assist you in taking the first step toward your new career aspirations.
