Interim Head of People Analytics
Based in London on a flexible basis
£130,000 - £140,000 plus completion bonus. Day rate may also be considered
6 months with possibility for longer term or permanent conversion
Middlemore had been retained by a global client to appoint an Interim Head of People Analytics during a period of significant transformation, centred around a global Workday implantation and significant corporate activity.
The opportunity
Our client is growing through acquisition. At the same time, the business are undergoing a global Workday system implementation.
This new role will own the people data and analytics agenda through the implementation of the new system, including the migration of the existing system. It will turn complex data from various platforms into a single, trusted foundation, then build the analytics capability that sits on top of it. The role is hands-on, global, highly visible and carries real influence, with a clear opportunity to shape a permanent people analytics function after phase 1 (this project) has been completed.
