Workforce & Capacity Planning Build and maintain the beqom PS staffing model, translating the sales pipeline and delivery backlog into forecast resource demand. Run rolling capacity vs. demand analysis to surface shortfalls and over-capacity before they affect delivery, and recommend actions, hire, reskill, reallocate, or engage partners. Monitor and forecast billable utilisation, minimising unbilled time by proactively redeploying resources to engagements, internal projects, or training. Partner with PS leadership and Talent Acquisition to inform hiring and reskilling plans that keep capacity aligned to forecast demand.

Run the resourcing process end to end, managing incoming demand, resolving conflicting requests, and keeping assignments and forecasts current in Kantata. Manage pre-assignments, confirmations, and changes, giving delivery and account teams clear visibility of who is committed where and when. Act as a key contributor to PS margin improvement, track the drivers of margin (utilisation, staffing mix, blended internal/partner rates, and cost) and surface risks and opportunities to PS leadership. Model the margin impact of resourcing options and use it to inform assignment and capacity decisions. Partner & Extended Workforce Management Treat partners, subcontractors, and other external resources as part of the managed capacity pool, maintaining their profiles, skills, and availability in Kantata alongside internal resources. Work with the wider Delivery team to decide when to deploy partner capacity versus internal resources, and design blended staffing that balances cost, margin, skills, and delivery risk. Coordinate onboarding and offboarding of partner resources in the PSA tool, ensuring correct roles, cost rates, and bill rates are set up before assignment. Manage partner demand end to end, from requesting resources against a statement of work through to assignment, time capture, and invoicing. Ensure partner time is captured and approved in Kantata so that partner-delivered work is billed and recognised correctly, and reconcile partner cost and invoices with Finance. Track partner utilisation, cost, and margin contribution, and feed partner capacity and performance data into workforce planning and reporting. Finance, Billing & Revenue Operations Work with Finance to ensure PS can accurately book, forecast, and recognise revenue through effective use of Kantata. Maintain rate cards, cost rates, and project financial settings in the PSA tool so that margin, billing, and revenue data are correct. Support month-end close, revenue recognition, and billing accuracy by keeping time, cost, and project data clean and reconciled between Kantata and Sage Intacct. Provide resourcing and utilisation inputs to PS financial forecasting, backlog, and revenue-planning cycles. Reporting, Analytics & Dashboards Produce operational reporting and dashboards covering utilisation, capacity, staffing, backlog, margin, and delivery KPIs, for use across PS, Finance, and executive leadership. Maintain a single, trusted source of resourcing and delivery metrics and define the KPIs and definitions behind them. Turn data into insight and clear recommendations for leadership, not just reports. Process & Continuous Improvement Own and continuously improve resource management processes, standards, and governance within the PMO.
