Prudential is a company built on the idea of inclusion and united by a common purpose: we make lives better by solving the financial challenges of our changing world. Our commitment to Business Resource Groups (BRGs) voluntary, employee-led groups that serve as a resource to help foster a diverse, inclusive workplace and are aligned with clear goals tied directly to objectives of the business is longstanding and differentiating. As distinct from employee resource groups (ERGs) which are closely aligned to a goal of creating an inclusive workplace, BRGs are focused first on contributing to the organizations commercial success. Their members, who serve as customer zero, possess the ability to deliver business value by providing insights and helping to forge connections with an expanded base of customers and create innovative approaches to meet the needs of communities we aim to serve.
In this re-imagined, elevated role reporting to the head of Business & Societal Impact, the VP, Business Resource Group Management will be primarily responsible for:
Playing a Lead Role in Business Partnerships
Contributing to the development of Inclusive Solutions business engagements, identifying how BRGs can contribute to strategic focus areas for growth and/or market expansion, and then integrating BRGs into the work plan. This includes establishing KPIs and measuring and reporting on impact. Also, identifying how the BRGs can work with empowered teams.
Engendering Followership
The leader of the BRGs will need to be able to maintain the respect of the BRG co-leads and executive sponsors and other key stakeholders. They will need to be able to influence participants to accomplish goals under a single, business aligned strategy. This involves motivating and inspiring volunteer members and leadership, building relationships with business leaders and across Inclusive Solutions, and demonstrating results.

This leader will work closely with Prudentials Senior Management, as well as other parts of Inclusive Solutions and areas within Prudential (e.g. HR), to engage in and support the work. This includes having a keen understanding of key issues (e.g. Prudentials business, intersectionality, allyship), supporting the Head of Inclusive Solutions on the Enterprise Inclusion Council, and supporting the external engagement of the BRGs.
Maintaining Strategic Discipline
The focus on established business plans will need to be brought to life and maintained across the BRG platform under the oversight of this leader. That means leading on both the strategy and administration of the BRG platform. In addition to the strategic elements highlighted above, the leader will need to lead a robust annual strategic planning effort, and address and manage equity of resources and programs across the platform.
Administratively, the leader will need to oversee ongoing operations, manage and regularly update SOPs, maintain the budgets, providing light-touch event logistics support, and ensure ongoing communications.
