Key skills for this role
Own and stand up a formal resourcing process from the ground up, bringing structure to a high-volume, currently instinct-driven workflow.

Monitor workload across designers, writers, and producers, and rebalance assignments as priorities shift, including last-minute changes and reprioritizations.
Maintain granular, real-time visibility into team availability, skillsets, and utilization (e.g., knowing who's a fast copywriter vs. a strong systems designer) to inform staffing decisions.
Own and lead a weekly cross-functional resourcing meeting with creative leads, account leads, and PMs; arriving with proposed solutions rather than reacting to issues without a plan.
Partner closely with the Director of Program Management and resourcing counterparts to flag capacity gaps and build the case for additional headcount when needed.
Forecast and roadmap staffing needs on a regular basis (weekly, quarterly, annually)
Serve as a go-to resource for creative directors and client partners fielding real-time staffing questions as new projects and shifting priorities arise.
Establish and refine best practices/processes for resourcing and traffic management, with the goal of stabilizing the process within the first 30-60 days.
