The right candidate would be able to work under time-pressure, generating accurate and complex analysis. The role holder would have an ability to explain complicated concepts to a lay-person and think creatively about problem-solving.

Overview

The Unilever People Analytics team is apioneering group of statisticians, data scientists and visualisation experts that utilise advanced statistical techniques to analyse our HR, financial and marketing data.
