Resource Planning Manager – be part of the construction and management of NNIT’s new resource management function

NNIT is in the process of establishing a brand new resource management function in our IT Consultancy service division.

This is your opportunity to drive the process in close col-laboration with our Resource Director.

The purpose of the new function is to ensure high resource utilisation in NNIT. You must be able to combine short term resource allocation with long term demand plans. And you should thrive on following our pipeline closely in order to understand how it affects our training and recruitment needs.

Strong communicator and team player
You will be a valued partner and advisor for various business areas in NNIT and must be driven by your professionalism, an eye for detail and a positive attitude. For the new function to be a success, you must understand the needs of our organisation and con-stantly be keen to deliver high quality and value adding services.

On top of that you are a team player and know that the team effort is essential in building up this new resource management function and process.

You communicate equally well with specialists and managers. Your ability to connect with others allows you to motivate people to the projects and assignments you are allocating them to. It's a fact that priorities constantly change or bottlenecks arise in a business like ours, and in these situations you must have the ability act promptly and find the right so-lutions.

Dedicated to creating happy customers
You have an outgoing personality and are ready to build and manage relationships at all organisational levels - i.e. vice presidents, account managers, managers in line of busi-ness, HR and employees. This involves building a solid understanding of NNIT's IT Con-sultancy services and the people working here. You have the knowledge to assist in de-fining an optimal competency and onshore/offshore mix, which ensures a resource plan that supports the tasks you allocate resources for.

A broad variety of responsibilities

Your primary tasks will include:

• Matching projects with people and handling prioritizations due to bottlenecks - i.e. when two projects need the same employees
• Being a heavy user of and ambassador for different tools used to support our re-source allocation process, and ensure that data quality is high and trustworthy
• Ensuring that we staff with just the right mix of seniority and on/off-shore resources
• Participating in new business and management meetings and provide perspectives on staffing opportunities and challenges
• Reviewing metrics and reporting related to the resource pipeline, resource allocation response time, overdue demand etc.

As the job is so closely related to optimising the resource utilisation in NNIT, it requires flair and a mind for details as well as solid experience with resource scheduling tools and reporting as well as tools like Excel, Powerpoint, Sharepoint. It will also be an important part of your work to continuously improve tools and reporting methods.

Qualifications
It is an advantage, if you have worked in a resource planning function in a large multi-function business, and have experience with force management tools. Alternatively you have +3 years' of experience as IT project manager or team lead giving you experience with resource planning. You speak and write Danish and English fluently.
