Why we're hiring:
This is a unique opportunity to shape what it means to work at WPP at a defining
point in our transformation.
As Head of Employee Experience, you will own WPP’s Employee Value Proposition
and lead the design of an employee experience that brings the ambition of
Elevate28 to life. As WPP becomes a more connected and integrated enterprise,
you will help create a stronger sense of belonging to WPP, while recognising the
distinctive brands and cultures that make up our organisation.
With significant internal and external visibility, you will shape how WPP is

influencer talent, while strengthening the experience that engages and retains
our world-class creative and strategic talent.
What you'll be doing:
SHAPE AND ACTIVATE OUR GLOBAL EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION
You’ll lead the development and activation of WPP’s global Employee Value
Proposition (EVP) and help shape an employee experience that reflects
who we are
today and where we’re going as part of Elevate
28. This is an opportunity to have
a significant impact on how we attract, engage and retain talent as WPP
continues to evolve.
• Partner with Marketing & Communications to understand what matters most to
our people and the talent we want to attract, using these insights to shape a
compelling and authentic global EVP.
• Define and bring our EVP to life across purpose, growth, AI capability,
creative scale, inclusion, belonging, reward and recognition.
• Broaden WPP’s appeal to new and emerging talent communities, particularly
across AI, analytics, commerce and influencer talent, while continuing to
engage and retain the exceptional creative and strategic talent at the heart
of our business.
• Position WPP’s AI capabilities and WPP Open as compelling differentiators,
showcasing the opportunity to build a career at the intersection of
creativity, technology and marketing.
• Partner with Marketing to develop and deliver a global employer brand
strategy that brings WPP’s transformation, culture and future ambition to
life in an authentic and compelling way.
• Create a more connected WPP employee experience, bringing greater consistency
across the organisation while recognising and respecting the distinctive
identities and cultures of our agencies and businesses.
• Build trust through transformation by ensuring our EVP and employee
experience remain credible, authentic and aligned with the reality of working
at WPP.
• Create the tools, messaging and frameworks needed to embed the EVP
consistently across talent attraction, recruitment, internal communications
and the wider employee experience.
• Use employee insight, employer brand and talent data to measure impact,
identify opportunities and continually strengthen WPP’s employee proposition.
• Ultimately, help shape the next chapter of WPP, translating our
transformation and ambition into an employee experience that people can see,
feel and believe in.
What you'll need:
• A HR leader with strong experience shaping employee experience strategies and
developing compelling Employee Value Propositions in complex organisations.
• Proven experience bringing an EVP to life, ideally within a global
organisation undergoing significant transformation or change.
• Strong employer brand expertise, with the ability to partner effectively with
Marketing & Communications to translate an EVP into a powerful internal and
external narrative.
• Experience working across complex, global organisations, balancing
enterprise-wide consistency with the flexibility needed to reflect different
markets, cultures and talent needs.
• A strong understanding of the evolving talent landscape, particularly across
AI, analytics, commerce and other emerging capabilities, with insight into
what attracts and engages these talent populations.
• A highly collaborative and influential approach, comfortable working across
HR, Marketing, Communications and senior leadership to turn strategy into
meaningful employee experiences.
