This role at the heart of H&M's Expansion team is the ideal introduction to H&M's global operations before taking on future challenges in the company.

As data analyst to a department that is responsible for all current and future stores in the H&M Group world-wide (4500+ Stores), you thrive working in collaboration with people from different cultures and backgrounds located around the world. The Leasing Department is a part of H&M's Expansion team, which is responsible for all aspects of creating our H&M stores, including other H&M brands such as Monki.

You will play a key role in financial and operational follow-up and take the initiative to derive new insights from varied data to help meet the Department's goal of offering the best possible lease terms and, as a result, the best possible offer to the customer.   

What You Will Do

We want you to help us understand patterns and trends that will affect the way we work and help H&M optimize our store investments. To proactively develop cutting edge analyses and insights to drive decisions and strategies, you will:

• Combine and consolidate internal and external data sources; review data quality; and structure the data for analysis.
• Evaluate and drive activities within cross-functional projects and countries to standardize data sources and structure.
• Identify and improve our technical tools and file-linkages at all stages from the file level to integration of data into dashboards for easy use by end-users.
• Monitor and improve SSAS cubes to enable reporting via Power BI, Excel, etc.
• Mine and analyze data and translate the results into actionable ideas.
• Solve complex multi-dimensional problems and manage cross-department system improvements.
• Create and present reports with data visualizations to stakeholders.
• Develop and manage efficient and secure information-sharing via customized tools and other technical solutions.


Who You Are

You will work in a demanding global environment with both our central office and country teams to identify commercial opportunities in the data. To succeed in this position, you should have:

• 3-5 years of experience in a data analyst role following completion of a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, business, computer science, statistics, or a similar quantitative discipline.
• Advanced knowledge in Excel and business intelligence solutions.
• Experience with Power BI. Familiarity with M and DAX are a plus.
• Experience manipulating complex, high-volume, high-dimensional data from many sources using a variety of data analysis and visualization tools and methods.
• Experience working with multiple stakeholders’ cross functions and developing end-to-end solutions.
• Capacity to link details to the holistic picture. Process analysis/mapping experience is a plus.
• Creativity and initiative to find business opportunities in the data with ambition to drive change in a growing organization.
• Written and verbal communication skills to explain complex results, models, and methods in simple terms to diverse audiences (in English) and advanced PowerPoint skills. Swedish is a plus.


As a person, you are ambitious, competitive, humble, and a fast learner. You are constantly looking for possibilities to improve things and you make sure that things get done on time. You value taking responsibility, working in a fast-paced environment, straight-forward communication, and teamwork. You find it easy to work with people from many cultures and backgrounds.  

H&M's Leasing Department Offers You

The team at H&M's Leasing Department can be described in Swedish as "prestigelös". The closest word in English is probably humble – the opposite of pretentious. We are an ambitious yet humble group of people who work well independently while also cultivating a supportive and collaborative team atmosphere. You will have the opportunity to work closely with controllers and financial analysts and your regional contacts.

The position is full-time, located in Stockholm, starting as soon as possible.
