THE TEAM
The People Experience team is focused on creating an outstanding colleague experience across easyJet. As a key member of the People Experience Leadership Team, you'll work closely with People teams, business leaders and our central data functions to make trusted people insight and colleague listening central to business decision making.
You'll lead our people analytics, reporting, data governance and colleague listening capability, including Airwaves, our colleague survey and listening approach.

You'll own and evolve the end-to-end people data ecosystem, bringing together data integrity, governance, reporting, analytics and colleague listening into a clear, simple and commercially relevant view of our workforce.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A central part of your remit will be leading the design, delivery and evolution of Airwaves, our colleague survey and listening approach. You'll ensure listening generates faster, deeper and more actionable insight than a traditional engagement survey cycle. By integrating colleague feedback with wider people and business data, you'll create a coherent narrative that identifies what matters most and supports clear priorities, visible action and measurable outcomes.
This is not a purely technical role. You'll combine expertise in data and listening with commercial judgement and strong stakeholder leadership. You'll help leaders ask the right questions, build their confidence in interpreting insight and ensure data is actively used to shape decisions, rather than simply reported.
Your key accountabilities will include;
- Defining and delivering a clear people data, analytics and listening strategy aligned with business priorities.
- Owning and evolving the Airwaves survey and wider colleague listening approach, from design and delivery through to insight, action planning and measurement.
- Connecting listening data with workforce, talent, performance and business measures to provide a joined-up view of colleague experience and organisational performance.
- Translating survey results and people data into clear business priorities, actionable recommendations and visible follow through.
- Providing forward-looking insight that helps leaders identify workforce risks, trends and opportunities.
- Owning the end-to-end people data lifecycle, including quality, governance, controls, reporting and analytics.
- Ensuring business critical, statutory and regulatory reporting is accurate, timely, secure and trusted.
- Establishing clear measures, KPIs and insight frameworks that track performance and outcomes.
- Building simple, scalable and increasingly self-service reporting capability.
- Developing the capability of leaders, managers and People teams to understand and act on data and colleague feedback.
- Using external benchmarks, market trends and emerging developments in people analytics, AI and workforce insight to keep our approach relevant and competitive.
- Partnering with central data and IT teams to align systems, standards, governance and enterprise decision making.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Significant experience leading a people analytics, data or insight function at enterprise scale.
- Essential experience owning or leading a colleague listening or engagement survey programme in a large, complex organisation.
- A strong understanding of listening strategy and survey design, including how to turn colleague feedback into actionable insight, organisational priorities and measurable change.
- Experience integrating engagement or listening data with wider people, workforce and business measures to create a coherent, commercially relevant narrative.
- A track record of ensuring survey insight leads to clear ownership, visible action and meaningful follow through.
- Strong experience building reporting, measurement frameworks and KPIs that support business performance.
- Proven ability to translate complex data and feedback into clear, compelling and actionable insight.
- Experience owning data governance, reporting standards, controls and data quality improvement.
- Strong knowledge of HR data, processes and metrics, with the ability to simplify complexity.
- The credibility and influencing skills to challenge and guide senior leaders.
- Experience developing leaders, managers and People team's capability to interpret data and act on insight.
- The ability to lead and develop high-performing teams, creating a culture of curiosity, quality and continuous improvement.
- Commercial judgement, with a clear understanding of the relationship between people experience, engagement and business outcomes.
- Resilience, adaptability and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-changing environment.
- Experience of enterprise or federated data models, analytics tools, BI platforms, HR systems such as Workday, or advanced analytics and AI would be valuable.
