We’re recruiting for a HR Insights & Project Lead to join our Retial HR team.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how Retail HR uses insight to support colleagues and leaders.

• Getting involved in everything from risk reporting to culture insights to cyclical HR processes
• Working closely with Group HR Analytics and Finance to shape how we measure and interpret our people landscape
• Turning complex information into simple, compelling storytelling

Who we’re looking for:

• Strong data literacy, you enjoy working with numbers and making sense of them
• Good Excel capability (formulas, lookups, joining data, pivot tables)
• Ability to explain insight clearly, even to non‑technical audiences
• Curiosity, problem‑solving mindset and confidence to ask questions
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders
• Power BI and Oracle familiarity helpful (or willingness to learn quickly)
• Some experience in reporting, analysis or insights, from HR, people analytics or any analytical function

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance
  -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution

• There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• In 2023, some of our work spaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all.

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
