Head of People

Everyday, somewhere in the world, important decisions are made. Whether it is a private equity company deciding to invest millions into a business or a large corporation implementing a new strategic direction, these decisions impact employees, customers, and other stakeholders.

Consulting and private equity firms come to proSapient when they need to discover knowledge to help them make great decisions and succeed in their goals. It is our mission to support them in their discovery of knowledge.

We help our clients find industry experts who can provide their knowledge via interview or survey: we curate this knowledge in a market-leading software platform; and we help clients surface knowledge they already have through expansive knowledge management.

The role of Head of People and Talent (AMER) has three key areas of focus and responsibility; leading the wider team to deliver operational excellence, driving and executing on strategic People initiatives and partnering the wider business to ensure that proSapient delivers on its three key pillars: Customer Focus, Tech-Led Innovation, and Exceptional People.

The role focuses on building a high performing team to create an exceptional employee experience - from identifying top external talent through to creating an inclusive and thriving workplace which unlocks maximum potential in our people; the role features translating top line People Strategy initiatives into actionable insights that transform how we enable, empower and develop our people.
