- Partner with client teams and practice excellence leaders to ensure alignment between talent supply and demand, and facilitate strong skill-to-role matching.
- Maintain a centralized, real-time view of resource management metrics (e.g., utilization and capacity), skills, and demand across the organization to inform decision-making.
- Implement systems and tools to support efficient resource planning, forecasting, and reporting.
- Establish fair and transparent processes for resourcing requests, prioritization, and conflict resolution.
- Champion PMG’s values and talent philosophy, ensuring people have continuous access to high-quality opportunities that support long-term career development

- Experience supporting both dedicated team structures and flexible task-based models.
- Executive presence and credibility to influence and advise senior leaders, including C-level executives.
