Strategic Workforce Planning and Workforce Management Director

Capgemini Invent: Why join us?

At Capgemini Invent, we believe difference drives change. As inventive transformation consultants, we blend our strategic, creative and scientific capabilities, collaborating closely with clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions. Join us to drive transformation tailored to our clients’ challenges of today and tomorrow. Informed and validated by science and data. Superpowered by creativity and design. All underpinned by technology created with purpose.

You will be joining our rapidly growing Workforce Transformation team within Capgemini Invent, where our purpose is to deliver value to our clients through augmenting people, technology and new ways of working that generate growth and profitability whilst creating better workforce outcomes. Strategic Workforce Planning and Workforce Management are increasingly critical to our clients as they respond to AI, automation, skills scarcity, new operating models, cost pressure and the need to deliver major programmes at pace.

This is an exciting opportunity to take a senior leadership role in scaling our Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) and Workforce Management (WFM) capability, building on strong market demand and a significant pipeline across energy and utilities, public sector, defence, consumer products and other complex, asset- and workforce-intensive sectors.

YOUR ROLE:

In a world of digital transformation, AI-enabled operating models and scarce critical skills, organisations need to understand the workforce they have today, the capabilities they will need tomorrow, and the interventions required to close the gap. As a Strategic Workforce Planning and Workforce Management Director, you will lead major client engagements that connect business strategy, workforce demand, workforce supply, skills, location, cost, capacity and productivity into practical plans that clients can implement and sustain.

You will engage with senior clients to shape, sell and deliver end-to-end SWP and WFM programmes. This will include establishing SWP capability, designing workforce planning operating models, building scenario-based workforce plans, improving operational workforce management, sharpening critical skills strategies, and enabling clients to make better decisions on whether to buy, build, borrow, bind, bot, bounce or balance capability.

You will also play a key role in helping Capgemini Invent convert and deliver a growing pipeline of SWP / WFM opportunities, including major programmes where senior leadership, client credibility, delivery control and market eminence are essential.
