WPP is the creative transformation company. Through One WPP and the Elevate
28 transformation agenda, we are building a simpler, more integrated, agile and AI-powered enterprise. WPP's Performance & Culture Center of Excellence brings together the capabilities that help our people, teams and organization perform, grow and thrive. Within it, Enterprise Effectiveness aligns WPP's organization, workforce and teams around its strategic priorities and enables the change required to deliver them.

The Workforce Intelligence & Analytics Manager is a contract role that will build the evidence base for the workforce and organization decisions that matter most to WPP. This role will turn fragmented people, organization and business data into clear insight, forward-looking scenarios and practical recommendations that help leaders decide where to invest, how to shape the workforce and how to organize for performance.

Reporting to the Global Head of Enterprise Effectiveness, you will support the wider Performance & Culture Center of Excellence while working closely with business, People & Culture, Finance, Data and Technology partners. You will establish a trusted workforce-intelligence capability that supports strategic workforce planning and informs priority organization, workforce, team and people decisions across Enterprise Effectiveness and the wider Performance & Culture Center of Excellence.

This is not a traditional reporting role. It combines strategic analytics, internal consulting and leadership of a four-person data and reporting team based in India. You will be expected to work through ambiguity, connect disparate data and systems, and progressively turn fragmented analytics into a more integrated, trusted and usable capability. As a contract appointment, the initial focus will be to establish the core workforce-intelligence approach, strengthen the India-based team and deliver insight against WPP's highest-priority workforce and organization questions.

WPP's transformation requires faster, better choices about work, skills, capacity, organization and investment. Those choices cannot be made from disconnected dashboards or backward-looking metrics alone. In this role, you will create a more integrated view of the workforce, translate evidence into choices and trade-offs, and help leaders anticipate the implications of AI, changing client demand and new ways of working. The work will directly shape how WPP builds the capabilities, capacity and organization required for Elevate
28.

• Working with the Global Head of Enterprise Effectiveness, shape and build an enterprise workforce-intelligence approach that connects people, organization and business data to the decisions leaders need to make.
• Define a focused set of workforce and organizational measures, dashboards and decision-support tools, moving reporting from activity and headcount toward capacity, capability, cost, productivity, risk and value.
• Partner with data owners and technology teams to map fragmented data and systems, define analytical requirements, and strengthen data definitions, quality, accessibility and responsible use, while being clear about limitations and the strength of the evidence.
• Establish repeatable analytical standards, governance and quality controls so insight is trusted, comparable and usable across WPP.
• Apply AI and automation to improve how workforce data is integrated, analysed and translated into decision support, while maintaining appropriate human judgement, transparency and responsible-use standards.
