Mission

As the talent market continues its rapid change, candidates and client expectations on workforce solutions are also evolving. To navigate this, The Adecco Group is working to differentiate its value propositions, creating closer candidate relationships and building a more strategic connection with clients. We aim to let ideas flow from one market to another while leveraging available data sources within and across Adecco Group businesses. We succeed by driving technology adoption and increasing development cycle speeds with integrated candidate and client feedback loops.

Are you ready for a challenge? Do you want to make this change happen? Are you driven by delightful user experience and are you passionate about digital products? If so, we want you to join our team!

The Group Product Organization orchestrates the design, development and adoption of the end-to-end experiences Adecco brands offer to candidates and clients. The organization is structured around key audiences: our corporate clients, the candidates we engage with, as well as our internal colleagues. At the core of this organization, each product represents an experience that satisfies a client or candidate need. This, in turn, triggers the reason to connect, engage, share data or buy services from us. Products are continuously developed and improved across their lifecycle.

You define requirements, develop and deliver releases and deploy the zero-touch product in your pilot countries; while provisioning for future scaling across geographies and brands.

The role is reporting to the Group Head of Product at the Digital organization of Adecco Group. For the first phase of MVP development and delivery in 2 pilot countries, the role will be assigned to the Zero-Touch project team lead at the Digital organization of Adecco Group.
