- Support proactive workforce pipeline planning for future project phases and anticipated client demand.
- Preparing leadership-level summaries that clearly communicate staffing risks, delivery constraints, hiring dependencies, and recommended escalation actions.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Providing leadership with clear visibility of workforce demand, hiring progress, resource constraints, and mobilization readiness so that staffing risks are identified early, and project teams can be built ahead of delivery need.
- Supporting the design, implementation, and continuous enhancement of resource reporting frameworks, including dashboards, KPIs, milestone reporting, hiring pipeline summaries, and management updates.
- Working with project teams, Talent Acquisition, HR, Finance, Operations, Digital, Data Analysts, and Project Controls teams to ensure reporting outputs are accurate, timely, and aligned with governance requirements.
