  • Experience with skills taxonomies, staffing or workforce platforms, dashboards, data governance, workflow design, automation, and practical applications of artificial intelligence to resource matching, planning, and administration.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior executives, highly independent partners, business unit and delivery unit leaders, Human Resources, Talent, Finance, Information Technology, Revenue Operations, and local resource managers without relying primarily on formal authority.
  • A bachelor’s degree is required.
  • Travel includes regular domestic travel and periodic travel to India, based on business needs.
  • Willingness to work directly in workforce models, staffing processes, dashboards, skill definitions, and allocation decisions.
  • Ability to create transparent allocation rules, resolve competing demands, and use judgment when circumstances require exceptions.

Responsibilities

  • Assess current resource-management capabilities and work with executive, practice, and operations leaders to design and implement a future-state operating model that builds on existing strengths.
  • Define governance, roles, decision rights, shared standards, priorities, and ways of working while coordinating enterprise-, business unit-, delivery unit-, and geography-based resource-management teams.
  • Combine current revenue, demand, and utilization against budget with forecasts of backlog, pipeline, and expected work to support forward-looking demand and capacity planning.
  • Partner with business unit and delivery unit leaders, Revenue Operations, and Finance to provide timely views of capacity, emerging gaps, and required people decisions, and adjust staffing plans as conditions change.
  • Establish utilization measures and differentiated expectations by role, level, business unit, and delivery unit; improve deployment, leverage, staffing mix, and cross-staffing while balancing client quality, employee development, sustainable workloads, and gross-margin improvement.
  • Use staffing, scheduling, and demand planning to integrate India talent into engagements, improve utilization of global-delivery capabilities, increase end-to-end and higher-value work, and remove barriers to collaboration between United States and India teams.
  • Promote collaboration and talent mobility across business units, delivery units, and geographies; establish enterprise principles for prioritizing resources across opportunities while balancing client needs, strategic importance, economics, professional development, and firmwide priorities.
  • Partner with Financial Planning and Analysis, Finance, Human Resources, Talent, Recruiting, Revenue Operations, India leadership, and business unit leaders to translate revenue forecasts into short- and long-term resource requirements, incorporating productivity, utilization, promotion, attrition, skills, global delivery, and automation into recruiting decisions and workforce-pyramid development.
  • Partner with Human Resources, Talent, and business leaders to translate development needs into assignments, rotations, global experiences, and exposure to new offerings; use capacity and workload insights to balance delivery needs with sustainable workloads, development opportunities, and long-term career growth.
  • Partner with Information Technology to maintain useful skill profiles, define engagement requirements, and match required skills with available talent; apply Lean practices, artificial intelligence, and automation to reduce manual coordination, improve data quality and decisions, and provide real-time visibility into demand, capacity, utilization, skills, and availability.
  • Establish an approach for using internal United States talent, India talent, cross-business-unit staffing, and contingent workers; improve the speed and consistency of external-resource decisions while balancing quality, cost, skill availability, development, delivery risk, and gross margin.
  • Establish enterprise metrics, dashboards, forecasting routines, staffing meetings, and executive reporting; build executive and practice-leader alignment, facilitate decisions, share effective practices, and encourage adoption through useful tools, support, and demonstrated value.
