- Utilise dashboards and analytics to create a data driven capacity planning environment
- Deliver holistic data points and insight to the DSC Leads for each Capability group that
- enables demand forecasts to be matched with future supply, across all sources of the workforce (onshore, offshore, KPMG Global Services (KGS), outsourced, subcontractor, etc).
- Responsible for identifying opportunities to streamline process and procedures across demand planning, capacity planning and resource optimisation
- Work closely with the DSC Leads in each Capability Group to:

- Execute and implement a standardised process for comparison and measurement of current staffing/contracting methodologies across the UK firm
- Provide analysis and recommendations to improve staffing levels
- Support the establishment of a robust control environment and areas for further improvement across the demand drivers
- Continuously validate business demand drivers into the capacity planning methodologies and processes that will allow for the identification of future needs
- Work closely with the Talent and Talent Acquisition teams to ensure that the capacity planning & optimisation processes are integrated with the workforce planning processes as
- relevant to the People function (e.g., promotions, internal mobility, etc)
- Ensure annual plans are aligned to firm-wide strategic initiatives to optimise our service delivery model (e.g., Hybrid Working)
- Collaborate with and own hand-offs to other parts of the business to ensure plans are completed accurately and timely, e.g., management of budget/AOP (with Finance), management of current HC (with HR/HOPOs), to monitor HC forecast against (a) budget and (b) supply
- System owner for tool(s) used to model/define capacity planning needs, ensuring consistent and sustainable processes and technologies are used across capabilities
- Accountable for ensuring that all the MI and Operational Reports being used across the Supply Chain teams are standardised and industrialised to meet the needs of various stakeholders and operational teams
- Establish the most efficient and cost-effective way to produce the DSC Management Information (MI) and Operational Reporting requirements working closely with the Connected Insight and MI COE teams. This includes maximising the use of offshore capabilities
- Lead and direct a team of 5.0 FTEs at KGS, prioritising work and ensuring timely delivery of reporting requirements
