Organisations are having to become much more adaptable to change as they face new workforce challenges as a result of globalisation, changing demographics, emerging technology, innovation and regulatory demands.

We believe the People Agenda is at the heart of successful change. EY People Advisory Services (PAS) help organisations to put humans at the centre of their transformation agenda enabling them to align culture and leadership to their purpose, develop necessary skillsets and mindsets, and build adaptability through continuous change and learning.

We are a global network with more than 11,000 employees in more than 130 countries, offering deep industry knowledge and experience to more than 2,000 corporate clients worldwide. Within the UK, we have over 330 consultants advising clients across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors on their most challenging workforce problems.

We are growing fast and looking for those, who share our values, believe in the importance of the people agenda and have experience in organisation and workforce transformation and transactions, change experience and learning, culture and leadership, digital HR, rewards and people mobility, to join us in PAS.

The opportunity

We continue to experience tremendous appetite from organisations keen to leverage their HR data assets. However, many of these organisations are not yet equipped to be able to deliver insights needed to tackle their most prominent workforce issues. In short, the requirement for enhanced workforce reporting and capabilities has never been as pressing.

Our team works directly with clients or alongside client data teams to deliver solutions in the areas of strategic workforce planning; talent acquisition & workforce migration; workforce performance; diversity & inclusion; learning & development; and retention.

This is an opportunity for you to work with a broad set of clients including major private corporate organisations through to government departments and other public sector bodies. Your work will have a high degree of complexity and at times, uncertainty, since you will be working with multiple stakeholders, some of whom will have limited analytics exposure and understanding.

Due to the nature of our projects you will have the opportunity to showcase your strong client management and communication skills, in addition to your rigorous analytical techniques and excellent data handling abilities.

Working alongside and collaborating with experienced workforce planning and talent analytics consultants you will bring your experience of working with large client datasets to help build analytical models; leverage data transformation and visualisation packages; as well as testing your experience of programming and statistical tools (such as R and Python) to derive insight through data modelling and simulations.

All of the above will allow you to construct a narrative that provides real impact using data to drive action.

• Involvement with designing machine learning solutions, undertaking proof-of-concepts, and implementing these solutions to help clients to be effective in this dynamic environment

• Ability to work with clients and model users, identify their particular use case requirements, design appropriate solutions to load data, perform complex calculations, derive corollaries and deliver interface tools to provide repeatable visual output

• Experience working with large datasets (creating databases, architecting efficient structures and writing optimised stored procedures & queries)
• Experience in applying analytical techniques to calculate problems such as predictive forecasting, prescriptive action, capacity planning
  
  

Ideally, you’ll also have
