About The Position

At BAE Systems, we’re transforming the employee experience and amplifying our workforce strategies through data-driven insights that empower our people and fuel our success. Our Workforce Analytics organization is at the forefront of this mission, delivering innovative solutions to optimize how we run the business of HR and how we strategically advise on workforce strategies and initiatives. We’re looking for a passionate Analytics Consultant to join our team, working closely with our Centers of Expertise (COEs) and business sectors to turn complex data into compelling stories that drive meaningful change. The Opportunity: Reporting to the Director of Workforce Analytics, the Senior Consultant, Workforce Analytics will be a trusted advisor to our sectors and COE’s leveraging your expertise in data engineering, visualization, and storytelling to deliver actionable insights about our workforce. You’ll dive deep into the needs of our business and COEs, serving as a subject matter expert who translates their vision into robust analytics solutions. From building scalable data pipelines to creating intuitive PowerBI and Tableau dashboards, you’ll craft narratives that empower HR leaders to make smarter, strategic decisions. This is your chance to blend technical prowess with consulting finesse, making a tangible impact on our workforce and business. We’re not looking for a data scientist or a pure data engineer – we can source or build those skills as needed. Rather, we need someone who blends data expertise with strategic consulting and advising to integrate and bring our data to life for our customers.
