As a Senior People Data Analyst on Optiver’s People Data Team, you will operate as a trusted senior individual contributor, partnering closely with stakeholders across Europe and globally to solve complex people data questions. While you will act as a key point of contact for local stakeholders in Europe, this role operates within a global, transatlantic people data model, where team members support analytics and reporting across offices and regions. You will take ownership of high-impact work, guide stakeholders toward the right questions and solutions, and help mature how people data is used to inform decision-making across the firm. This role is designed to provide senior analytical coverage on the team and to take meaningful ownership off the Global People Data Lead.

Communicate insights clearly and concisely, tailoring depth and framing to the audience
Partner with data engineering and platform teams as Workday and Greenhouse data are ingested into Databricks and additional people data sources are added over time
Help translate business questions into scalable analytical approaches, applying strong judgment about when advanced tooling is necessary versus when simpler solutions are more effective
Ensure continuity, usability, and stakeholder trust as reporting and analytics evolve during periods of technical change
Continue to leverage strong Excel-based analysis alongside modern data platforms as appropriate
Take ownership of defined people data domains, recurring deliverables, or initiatives, with accountability for quality and outcomes
Help evolve team ways of working, intake processes, prioritization, and documentation as the function continues to scale
