Head of Workforce Planning & Go-to-Market Strategy
WFA Digital Insight
Visier’s search for a Head of Workforce Planning & Go‑to‑Market Strategy is a rare blend of product‑centric vision and hands‑on consulting leadership. The role sits at the crossroads of market strategy and delivery, meaning the incumbent will not only set the GTM roadmap for Visier’s planning suite but also guide a team of advisory consultants that translate static workforce data into living, continuously‑updated plans for Fortune‑scale clients. What sets this posting apart is the explicit focus on cross‑functional orchestration—partnering with product, marketing, sales, and customer success—to ensure the solution evolves with real‑world feedback. Candidates should be comfortable navigating C‑suite conversations while still rolling up their sleeves to shape methodology, governance, and client‑facing workshops. It’s a chance to own a market‑defining function within a company that has already proven its AI‑driven analytics pedigree.
