We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Our greatest asset is our people, so our HR team focus on ensuring we are all reaching our potential. They use their specialist expertise to help us attract great talent, enable our employees to succeed and inspire a unified culture of development across our firm. By playing a role in the recruitment and management of our people, they help change lives and influence the future of BDO. Join a driven and passionate team where you can be yourself, while also helping your colleagues to achieve their ambitions.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working proactively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to advance their career in People Analytics. As a team, we work closely together to use different Workday tools to produce meaningful analysis to people across BDO. We are looking for someone to be involved in our larger reporting development projects as well as support with our ad hoc data and analytics requests.

In this role you’ll be:

  • Leading and supporting delivery of Workday-based dashboards, reports and people data insights
  • Taking ownership of assigned reporting and analytics projects – managing from scoping through to testing, launch and engagement
  • Developing and enhancing strategic reporting solutions in Workday, aligned to firm-wide needs and goals
  • Supporting routine and cyclical reporting needs, ensuring accuracy, consistency and strong data governance
  • Exploring and testing new Workday functionality and recommending ways to improve our use of the platform
  • Proactively engaging with stakeholders to understand their needs, surface opportunities and co-create data-led solutions
  • Supporting Workday testing, training, documentation and education for HR and business users
  • Identify and drive key improvements and automations to processes and reporting
  • Support the firm in a progression towards a self-service dominated reporting suite, encouraging a live and dynamic approach to management information
