We're looking for an enthusiastic and results-driven individual to join our team as a dedicated Labour Model Data Analyst. This role is focused specifically on the design, development, maintenance, and rigorous analysis of our core Labour Models (Labour Standards) across our entire retail network, covering Convenience, Supermarkets and Logistics.
This is a pivotal role where you will be instrumental in using complex data to ensure our Labour Planning is accurately weighted and optimised. Your analytical insights will directly drive successful project adoption, enhance store and site performance, optimise labour spend by delivering accurate standards, save time, and ultimately improve the customer experience across all our formats.
You'll be at the heart of decision-making and continuous improvement, using your expertise in data science, retail operations, and statistical modelling to deliver meaningful, data-backed change directly into our stores. You will manage data collection methodologies, conduct advanced analyses, and ensure the integrity and accuracy of the core labour models.
As the specialist in Labour Planning, you will take ownership for the successful, smooth, and rapid development and validation of our Labour Models. You'll be responsible for:
-
Labour Model Design and Validation: Designing, building, and maintaining sophisticated, data-driven Productive Labour Models that accurately predict required labour hours based on workload across diverse store and site formats
-
Data Sourcing and Integrity: Working with cross-functional teams to identify, capture, and ensure the high integrity of data necessary for model development, including conducting statistical analysis on task measurement outputs.
-
Model Implementation Support: Providing analytical support and insight during the implementation of new scheduling systems, ensuring models are correctly configured and benefits are delivered against agreed metrics.
-
Creating and managing analytical dashboards and reports to continuously monitor the performance of the Labour Models post-deployment, highlighting variance, identifying anomalies, and recommending adjustments.
-
Building strong, collaborative relationships with operational and project teams to translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders.
-
Monitoring, identifying, and actioning data-driven issues or risks specific to model accuracy and efficacy, ensuring models are always fit for purpose.
-
Delivering measurable labour efficiency and cost savings through the precision of the Labour Models.
About you
You should be an exceptional communicator who can bridge the gap between complex data analysis and practical retail execution. You will work as part of a versatile team with a "can-do" culture, so it's important that you are tenacious, detail-oriented, and strive for analytical excellence.
