Resourcing Lead

Job Responsibilities

• Own the detailed resourcing process end-to-end, from intake of a new project through to staffing recommendation, decision, and handover to the project lead, balancing project needs, individual development, and the long‑term success of Isaac.
• Build trusted relationships across the consulting team, acting as the go‑to advisor on resourcing decisions and a sounding board for staffing questions.
• Anticipate future demand by partnering with project and client leads, highlighting trade‑offs and shaping resourcing decisions early to drive timely outcomes.
• Respond to changing circumstances by re‑prioritising and re‑staffing in real time as projects evolve – scope changes, client escalations, sick days and last‑minute requests – resetting expectations clearly when things shift.
• Maintain a clear, current view of who is working on what, who is available, and where capability gaps are emerging across the team.
• Develop and maintain capacity models, utilisation reporting and forecasts that translate the project pipeline into a concrete staffing plan weeks ahead of need.
• Translate vague requests into concrete next steps, named owners and agreed dates, bringing clarity so everyone leaves each meeting knowing what was decided and who does what.

• A structured, visual thinker who breaks complex situations into visuals, models and frameworks, delivering just the right level of detail.
• A relationship builder who formalises trusted connections across all levels and adapts communication style to the moment.

• Disciplined, dealing with sensitive information about people, projects and strategy with integrity.

• Experience building and maintaining capacity models, utilisation reporting and resourcing forecasts in a fast‑paced environment.
