Job Description:

Where you fit in

A great opportunity for an expert in applied statistics, data science or econometrics with an interest in people and what drives them; you’ll join an award-winning people analytics team that’s widely recognised as a pioneer in this unexplored area where data science meet Human Resources.

Join us in Shell’s HR Analytics team and you’ll find huge scope for development – the chance to apply your analytical expertise to high-impact business problems, and to become a technical expert and leader in people analytics. You can look forward to working in a refreshingly open, collaborative, results-oriented team culture.

What’s the role?

Shell's HR Analytics team is externally recognised as a front runner in people analytics – one of the newest and least explored areas of data science. We’ve delivered keynote presentations at major conferences, collaborated with universities and won prestigious prizes, such as the Wharton People Analytics research prize. Part of Shell’s HR Organisational Development and Learning, the team’s insight has a direct impact on strategic people-related decisions: from the shape of our performance management systems, recruitment processes, talent assessments and workforce planning to more focused predictive analytics on topics like safety, sales performance and the effect of home-working.

On one hand, it’s a highly technical job that involves applying advanced statistical analysis and predictive analytics to real-life business problems. On the other, you’ll be making the most of your soft skills to collaborate with senior leaders and stakeholders across HR and Shell’s businesses.

What we need from you?


Master’s degree in Data Science or related field (econometrics, psychometrics, statistics, computational linguistics and applied mathematics) combined with;
Practical experience specifically around quantitative and analytical skills. Natural Language Processing or Data Engineering background is a great plus
Hands-on programming experience in R or Python is highly desirable
All-round consultancy and communication skills, plenty of intellectual curiosity and an interest in people analytics and HR
Ability to communicate complex statistical concepts to non-experts, both in person and in writing


An innovative place to work

There’s never been a more exciting time to work at Shell. Everyone here is helping solve one of the biggest challenges facing the world today: bringing the benefits of energy to everyone on the planet, whilst managing the risks of climate change.

Join us and you’ll add your talent and imagination to a business with the power to shape the future – whether by investing in renewables, exploring new ways to store energy or developing technology that helps the world to use energy more efficiently.

An inclusive place to work

To power progress together, we need to attract and develop the brightest minds and make sure every voice is heard. Here are just some of the ways we’re nurturing an inclusive environment – one where you can express your ideas, extend your skills and reach your potential…


We’re creating a space where people with disabilities can excel through transparent recruitment process, workplace adjustments and ongoing support in their roles. Feel free to let us know about your circumstances when you apply and we’ll take it from there.
We’re closing the gender gap – whether that’s through action on equal pay or by enabling more women to reach senior roles in engineering and technology.
We’re striving to be a pioneer of an inclusive and diverse workplace, promoting equality for employees regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
We consider ourselves a flexible employer and want to support you finding the right balance. We encourage you to discuss this with us in your application.


A rewarding place to work

Combine our creative, collaborative environment and global operations with an impressive range of benefits and joining Shell becomes an inspired career choice.

We’re huge advocates for career development. We’ll encourage you to try new roles and experience new settings. By pushing people to reach their potential, we frequently help them find skills they never knew they had, or make career moves they never thought possible.
