  • Partner with People Analytics and Solutions teams to develop and improve dashboards, reporting and decision-support tools, turning complex remuneration data into clear insights and recommendations.
  • Monitor and manage Reward elements in People Central and related systems to maintain accurate data, effective controls and reliable Reward processes. Identify opportunities to simplify and automate work, using emerging technology and AI-enabled tools responsibly and with appropriate attention to data privacy, security and bias.
