At Thomas, we envision a world of limitless human potential achieved through deep self-awareness and strong connections among individuals. With over 40 years of experience, we have been at the forefront of providing talent assessment platforms that assist businesses worldwide in recruiting, retaining, and developing exceptional talent.
But now, it's time for a change...
The future of work is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and Thomas is determined to break free from its origins as a "traditional" assessment provider. We are embarking on an exciting and bold journey to redefine how people interact in the workplace, setting new standards for the industry.
To thrive in this evolving landscape, we are seeking a Director of People Science. As a key member of our agile, Product Experience team comprising experts in Science, Engineering, and Product, you will lead a multi-disciplinary team of experts in the sciences that form the current People Science Team, and help us revolutionize how organisations perceive and unlock human potential.
We value diverse experiences, so while a background in traditional assessment companies is welcomed, we are particularly interested in candidates who have worked in consumer-focused or progressive HR B2B applications in fields like healthcare or well-being, or individuals with a background in fintech, or broader consumer/CRM applications. What matters most to us is your ability to leverage people science to empower individuals and drive positive outcomes.
Regardless of your professional background, we seek a visionary and forward-thinking leader with a solid understanding of data science, psychology, content and behavioural science/economics. You will have a proven track record of blending some or all of these key people science disciplines to create innovative solutions that enhance self-understanding and foster improved interactions in the workplace.
What's in it for you...?
By joining us, you will shape an entirely new category and transform how organisations understand their people. This presents a unique opportunity for personal growth and leadership, positioning you as an influential thought leader and ambassador, both within Thomas and in the broader industry. You will inspire confidence in our strategy and approach among customers, partners, industry leaders, and external stakeholders.
Moreover, you will be an integral member of one of the most progressive product teams in existence. Our team operates with transparency, maturity, and agility, embracing a continuous discovery approach to product development. We foster collaboration with our team mates in other disciplines and functions, including product marketing, sales, customer success, legal, HR, and finance.
That being said, we acknowledge that this role requires resilience and adaptability as we undergo significant organizational transformation. High emotional intelligence and influential skills are paramount, as are leadership behaviours centred around humility, ambition for others, and a commercial mindset. Your pragmatism and ability to influence others will play a crucial role in achieving our ambitious goals.
Interested? If so, please do get in touch. We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment, encouraging applicants from all backgrounds to join us on this exciting journey of empowerment and innovation in the workplace.
