Resource Manager

Description:

We’re looking for an experienced Resource Manager to act as a trusted advisor to leaders across the organisation, ensuring the right people, with the right skills, are in the right place at the right time, all while balancing performance, wellbeing and readiness for a once-in-a-generation event.

As Resource Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of Games delivery. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, project teams and operational partners to plan, allocate and optimise resources across a complex, fast-moving programme.

• Balance utilisation with wellbeing, ensuring performance without burnout
• Support the development of SEC readiness programmes ahead of the Games
• Identify training gaps and specialist event training needs
• Contribute to operational readiness assurance across SEC teams and partners
• Help develop clear, accessible team guides, briefings and event information
• Partner closely with delivery leads, project managers and department heads
• Act as the go-to decision-maker for resourcing questions and escalations
• Navigate competing priorities and facilitate effective, pragmatic solutions
• Track utilisation, capacity and demand using agreed tools and metrics
• Produce clear, insightful dashboards and reports for leadership
• Identify trends, risks and opportunities to improve how resources are deployed
• Help shape and embed best-practice resourcing processes and governance
