Job summary
If you’re interested in making a difference to people’s lives, the Treasury can offer you an exciting opportunity to influence decision making that affects the whole of the UK. Working at the heart of government, we collaborate across government to promote responsible public spending and drive strong and sustainable economic growth.
Our work ranges from protecting customers through the regulation of the financial sector, helping to reduce carbon emissions and creating a greener economy, to promoting British trade around the world and supporting people across the country on jobs, growth and more.
We are part of the Darlington Economic Campus, a cross-government hub bringing people together to tackle key national issues while working closer to the communities we serve.
Job description
The HM Treasury People and Capability team delivers a wide range of services and people solutions for the department. The team has People professionals and also colleagues with a background in Treasury policy work to provide a diverse skills mix. We work closely with senior stakeholders to make sure that our work supports and adds new value, and the department has a genuinely collaborative culture.
We are a friendly, multi-skilled team with varied strengths. This is a high priority, exciting and fast paced area of work, with ample opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, help embed cultural change in the department, and work closely with a range of stakeholders, including senior leaders, across the department.
The People and Capability Data Analyst will support the Senior Analytics Engineer and wider People Analytics team to deliver reliable, timely and accessible workforce reporting for HM Treasury. The role will maintain, assure and improve workforce reporting products, including self-service dashboards, regular data returns and ad hoc analysis, ensuring colleagues and senior leaders have clear information to understand workforce trends, monitor performance and make informed decisions.
You will work with HR colleagues, analysts and stakeholders across Corporate Centre Group to respond to regular reporting requirements, collate central commissions, including Cabinet Office commissions, and provide ad hoc analysis on people-related questions. The role will involve working with sensitive HR data, so attention to detail, sound judgement and a strong understanding of data protection, confidentiality and appropriate handling of information will be important.
This is a hands-on analytical role with opportunities to develop technical skills in analytical, reporting and automation tools. You will be expected to contribute to improvements in reporting processes and data quality, while working within agreed standards, governance arrangements and team priorities. The role would suit someone who enjoys using data to solve problems, communicate insight clearly and support continuous improvement in how people data is used across the department.
Key Accountabilities include:
• Maintain and update workforce reporting products, including dashboards and regular reports, ensuring outputs are accurate, timely, clearly presented and aligned to agreed reporting cycles.
• Deliver regular data returns, central commissions and departmental reporting requirements by collating, checking and analysing workforce data, escalating risks or data quality issues where appropriate.
• Respond to ad hoc analysis requests from P&C colleagues and other stakeholders, using appropriate analytical methods to provide clear findings, caveats and practical insight.
• Clean, validate and reconcile HR datasets, helping to improve the reliability of source data and the consistency of reporting across products.
• Assist with the development and improvement of analytical and reporting products, including dashboards, automated reports and data transformation processes, using tools such as Power BI, Excel, and Power Query.
• Document definitions, assumptions, caveats and process steps so that reporting products are easier to maintain, understand and use appropriately.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across People and Capability, Finance, analytical communities and wider corporate teams to gather requirements, resolve issues and improve the quality of management information.
• Work on continuous improvements to data access, reporting processes and self-service products, helping users understand how to interpret dashboards and use workforce data responsibly.
• Contribute to a positive analytical culture by sharing learning, seeking feedback and developing your own data, visualisation and communication skills.
We operate flexibly across the team and branch as new priorities emerge, so responsibilities may change over time. In line with our mission statement, the team works hard to promote an inclusive and supportive atmosphere, so active participation in team and group corporate activity is strongly encouraged.
