We’re on the lookout for someone who’s equal parts big-picture thinker and curious detail-diver. You’ll lead the charge in making our people systems smarter, more intuitive, and distinctly Virgin – combining data-driven decisions with beautifully simple digital experiences.

Our Virgin Family

Virgin Red and Virgin Management are the dynamic core of the Virgin brand. We reward our loyal customers with Virgin Points through an extensive partner network, nurture the Virgin brand globally across diverse industries like travel, health, and space, and champion customer-centric innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. Together, we unlock unique experiences, foster deep customer connections, and drive our purpose forward.

We’re a huge brand, but not a huge team, which means we take a hands-on approach while thinking strategically. Everyone rolls up their sleeves to get things done, making it an exciting and collaborative place to work.

Tell me more

• Lead our people analytics playground – designing dashboards, digging into datasets, and helping leaders make decisions that matter
• Define and deliver the future of our people tech – from fresh functionality, powerful partnerships to implementing new platforms, you’ll set the roadmap and bring it to life
• Spot trends and future-of-work insights before they’re mainstream – and translate them into experiments, tools, or smarter ways of working
• Roll up your sleeves to improve our existing tools and flows – think onboarding, performance, rewards – making them simpler, slicker, and more human
• Build the team’s confidence to adopt new tools – from AI to automation – with hands-on demos, playful prototypes, and practical collaboration moments
• Act as a connector between tech, data and people experience – translating needs, mapping processes, and finding customer-first solutions that feel intuitive
• Be the team’s trusted advisor on everything from data privacy to dashboard storytelling – helping us stay compliant, secure, and savvy

What you’ll need

• You might have been a HRIS Analyst or HR Systems Manager, or maybe you started out as a curious HR generalist or HR Business Partner and found yourself becoming the go-to person for all things people analytics and tech.
• Experience with modern HR tools (think Hi-Bob, Workable, Peakon – not the mega Oracles of the world)
• A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on tinkering – you’re just as happy building a dashboard as you are designing a roadmap
• Analytical brilliance – Excel, Power BI, and the curiosity to ask “what if?”
• Change-ready mindset – from piloting new ideas to launching full systems
• A love for making things better, not just managing what’s there
