Job Complexity & Problem Solving

The Associate Analyst/Analyst, Workforce Strategy and Analytics operates primarily at the tactical level with growing exposure to strategic dimensions, supporting the design, execution, and monitoring of workforce strategy and analytics frameworks that guide the Bank's manpower planning and decision-making. The role addresses a mix of structured and semi-structured problems, such as conducting workforce demand-supply analysis, developing manpower dashboards, and assessing talent risks against organisational priorities. It requires synthesising multiple sources of information, including internal workforce data, labour market trends, economic indicators, and industry benchmarks, to generate insights that inform workforce decisions. The role frequently navigates ambiguity, particularly when projecting future workforce needs in the context of shifting business priorities, technological changes, and external economic developments. It requires strong analytical thinking and the ability to connect data-driven evidence with conceptual workforce strategies. While not primarily tasked with developing groundbreaking innovations, the role benefits from conceptual and innovative thinking to enhance methodologies, improve analytical models, and propose new ways to measure workforce effectiveness.

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

While not a formal supervisory role, the Analyst exercises professional accountability and influence through analytical expertise and subject matter contributions. The role collaborates closely with internal stakeholders, including People Business Partners, HRIS Teams, Finance, and Line Departments across the Bank, to align workforce plans with organisational priorities. Engagements include interpreting workforce insights, supporting workforce governance processes, and preparing evidence-based recommendations for senior management and committee deliberations. The role also supports engagements with external stakeholders such as benchmarking partners, regulators, and industry counterparts, typically under the guidance of senior team members or managers. These interactions range from routine exchanges of workforce data to contributing inputs that shape the Bank's perspective on labour market trends and policy implications. Stakeholder management requires precision, credibility, and the ability to communicate insights effectively in both routine updates and high-stakes discussions where workforce recommendations may influence strategic decisions.
