Head of Planning & Go-to-Market Strategy

Visier is the global leader in Workforce Intelligence that powers every people decision. We bring Workforce AI to life for HR departments through our award-winning, agentic AI technology by surfacing the insights leaders need to plan, decide, and act with confidence in the moments that matter most. As the market leader in people analytics, workforce planning, organizational design, and manager effectiveness solutions, we fuel smarter decision-making for organizations across the globe.

If you are a strategic leader with a strong POV on strategic workforce planning (SWP), enterprise change management, and scaling Strategic Workforce Planning GTM functions, this is your opportunity to shape the industry standard.
