About Evotec

At Evotec, our mission is clear: we’re working together for medicines that matter. Across more than 20 sites globally, we unite scientists, technologists, and innovators with one shared purpose — to change the face of modern medicine.

As part of our #beCUREious culture, we empower our people to explore beyond boundaries, collaborate across disciplines, and create solutions that truly make an impact.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior People & Workforce Analytics Lead — a curious mind and data-driven storyteller who can turn workforce data into meaningful insights that guide strategic decisions.

This is not a reporting role. It’s a strategic enabler — connecting people, data, and purpose to help Evotec shape the workforce of the future.

You’ll partner across HR, IT, Finance, and the business to bring People Analytics to life: from clean, actionable dashboards to predictive insights that influence how we attract, engage, and retain talent worldwide.

What You’ll Do

Lead and evolve Evotec’s People Analytics strategy – defining priorities and shaping a roadmap that supports our growth and transformation.

Build smart insights, not just reports – create dashboards and analyses that answer real business questions and drive better people decisions.

Translate data into stories – help leaders understand trends, opportunities, and risks in our workforce.

Partner across HR and business teams – provide analytical guidance on key topics such as workforce planning, diversity, retention, and organizational design.

Safeguard and strengthen data integrity – collaborate with IT and HRIS to ensure data quality, integration, and governance.

Explore what’s next – pilot innovative approaches such as predictive analytics, AI-supported insights, or organizational network analysis to elevate HR intelligence.

What You Bring

Several years of experience in People Analytics, Workforce Analytics, or HR Data Science roles.

Strong analytical skills — you enjoy discovering patterns, testing hypotheses, and translating data into clear insights.

Hands-on expertise with Power BI, Tableau, or similar visualization tools; experience with SQL, Python, or R is a plus.

Good understanding of HR processes and metrics (e.g., attrition, DEI, learning, performance, compensation).

Experience working with HR systems such as Workday or SAP SuccessFactors.

Excellent communication and data storytelling skills — able to make complex insights simple and actionable.

A collaborative mindset — you thrive in a global, fast-paced, science-driven environment.

Fluency in English; German is a plus.

Why Join Us

Shape the future of People Analytics in a global life-sciences organization.

Work at the intersection of science, data, and purpose.

Be part of an agile, innovative HR team that values curiosity, creativity, and empowerment.

Competitive compensation, flexibility, and opportunities for continuous growth and learning.

A strong sense of purpose and team spirit – we evolve together, and so will your career.

Join Our Journey

If you’re ready to turn data into impact and shape how we understand and evolve our global workforce, we’d love to meet you.

How Many Space Industry Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UK Space Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the space industry — whether that’s spacecraft engineering, mission operations, space software, satellite systems, ground segment integration or space data analytics — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tools, platforms and technologies mentioned in job adverts. One role wants experience with CAD and FEA software. Another asks for experience with GNSS simulation. A third mentions mission scheduling tools, RF link analysis suites, Python, C++, continuous integration — and it seems there’s always another acronym to learn. With so much listed, many candidates fall into the trap of thinking they must master every tool under the sun before they’ll be taken seriously. Here’s the honest truth most UK space hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you’ve heard of every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real space problems, explain your reasoning clearly, and deliver results. Tools matter, but they always serve a purpose: achieving mission goals, improving reliability, reducing risk, delivering data, or enabling collaboration. Tools are enablers — not trophies. So how many tools do you actually need to know to get a space job? The answer is much fewer and far more strategic than you might think. This article breaks down: what tools employers really expect which ones are core across most space roles which ones are role-specific how to present your tool proficiency on your CV and in interviews

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Space Sector Job Applications (UK Guide)

The space industry is one of the most exciting and multidisciplinary sectors in technology and engineering today. Whether you’re applying for roles in spacecraft design, aerospace systems, robotics, satellite communications, mission operations, payload engineering, space software, ground systems, or scientific research, your application must quickly show hiring managers that you are relevant, technically credible and ready to deliver. In the UK space jobs market — spanning organisations from startups to defence primes, agencies, research labs and commercial constellations — hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. They scan applications rapidly, often making a judgement about whether to read further within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in space sector applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, why specific signals matter, and how you can position your experience to stand out on www.ukspacejobs.co.uk .

The Skills Gap in UK Space Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

The UK space sector is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing high-tech industries in the world. From Earth observation and satellite communications to space robotics, launch systems and deep-space exploration, the breadth of opportunity is enormous. The UK Government’s ambition to capture a significant share of the global space economy has driven investment, policy support and a wave of innovative companies — both established and start-up. Yet despite strong academic programmes and a pipeline of graduates with relevant degrees, employers in the UK space sector consistently report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not prepared for real-world space industry jobs. This is not a matter of intelligence or motivation. Rather, it reflects a growing skills gap between what universities are teaching and what employers actually need from space professionals. In this article, we’ll explore why that gap exists, what universities are doing well, where they fall short, what employers want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in the UK space sector.
