• Conduct analyses on People Data sets (e.g. on DEI, employee wellbeing, learning, or talent)
• Build smart integrations from/to and between People systems from a data perspective
• Support the team in optimizing data quality and flow (e.g. payroll, vacation data)   
• Support in monthly payroll preparations and runs across geographies where needed  
• Ensure data is provided to internal and external stakeholders (Investor Relations, Compliance, Audits) and that People & Culture are GDPR-compliant 
• Build awareness and capabilities for the People & Culture team on data, analysis, and tools (e.g. Excel) 
   

Your experience & skills: 

You should have strong data analysis skills, including expertise in Excel and SQL, and ideally some familiarity with data warehouse capabilities. The ability to effectively visualize data for clear communication is essential, as is a solid grasp of technical tools and systems, preferably including experience with HR systems. You should have a natural interest in creating quality solutions and a proactive mindset, emphasizing collaboration and innovation, is crucial for your success in this role. We expect that you have around 3-5 years of experience and preferably some knowledge of remuneration and the wider HR area. 

Your character: 

We hope that you are a curious constant learner with a positive mindset. You are proactive and take the initiative to address challenges and explore new opportunities. Attention to detail is a fundamental trait and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving will be valuable in navigating complex challenges.  

The ability to communicate diplomatically and empathically is essential for making positive relationships within the team and across departments. A service-minded attitude, coupled with professional-level English skills, will contribute to effective collaboration and communication in our dynamic and global environment.
