HR Business Analyst

This is not a traditional HR role, nor is it a pure data position. You operate at the intersection of HR, business, strategy and data. You understand what is happening within an organization, quickly identify what is needed and know how to translate HR challenges and data into concrete actions and advice.
You are an experienced HR professional who is comfortable in a complex, international corporate environment. You can challenge and advise stakeholders, but you are equally willing to roll up your sleeves and take ownership of HR topics yourself.

ROSEN is an international organization in which HR is becoming increasingly data-driven and strategically positioned. As Senior HR Business Analyst, you play an important role in this development.
You provide management and HR with insights into topics such as workforce development, retention, recruitment, absence, performance and organizational development. You don’t just produce reports: you understand the story behind the numbers and use that information to advise the business and influence decision-making.
Your role goes beyond HR analytics. You work on strategic and tactical HR topics, contribute to the further development of HR processes and can take ownership of HR activities when needed. You quickly understand new topics and are comfortable switching between strategy, analysis, projects and day-to-day HR issues.
You work with different stakeholders in an international corporate environment. This requires you to be confident, pragmatic and highly communicative. You know how to build relationships, get people on board and turn ideas into action.
