Job Role: Talent Science Lead, North America

Location: New York, USA – Hybrid, 3 days per week

Who we are:

We believe everyone can be better with a coach... and we won’t stop until we get there.

Coaching changes people’s lives. It helps them be happier and more productive in their work. It turns entire companies into more inclusive, more productive places to be. That’s why we’ve made it easy for more people – not just those at the top – to benefit from the world’s best coaches. This is true of our EZRA team. We believe a happy team is a productive one. We help our people grow, to care deeply about and be proud of what we do.

The Role

As our Talent Science Lead for North America, you’ll be the most senior regional leader of our global Talent Science & Insights practice, reporting to the VP, Talent Science & Insights. You’ll lead high-impact engagements with some of our largest and most complex clients, using the science of I/O psychology to shape how they measure and grow their people.

North America is our fastest-growing market, and this is a rare chance to build a practice from the ground up: founding a regional team of I/O psychologists, establishing Talent Science as a core driver of growth, and doing it all with the backing of a globally integrated team.

• You will lead complex, high-value client engagements end to end, from problem definition through to delivery, translating client needs into structured, high-impact Talent Science solutions
