The opportunity


We are looking for a Resource Coordinator within the Assurance team in our Sydney office. This role is offered on a flexible full time basis.

 

The Resource Coordinator is responsible for working closely with key internal stakeholders to address resource needs for our Assurance Practice. Working as part of a broader national team, you will be responsible for applying consistent resource planning across a range of engagements for the Melbourne practice and will work closely with the business to ensure all staffing needs are met.

 

Primary areas of responsibility include the allocation of staff resources, resolving booking conflicts, and monitoring availability and staffing requirements through the firm’s Resource Management System (Retain). You will also contribute to the national resource team, working with other Resource Coordinators across the region to share information, ideas and workloads, and to apply best practice resource planning across the business.

Monitor and process staff scheduling requests made by engagement personnel

Analyse and challenge resourcing requests against key engagement metrics to ensure the appropriate allocation of resources

Provide education to client servicing personnel around the resourcing process

·

Skills and attributes for success
· 
Proficiency in Microsoft applications

·  Intermediate Excel knowledge
·

·

· 
An understanding of the basic financial drivers and key KPI’s of a professional services firm – particularly around production and utilisation or a proven aptitude to learn in this area

· 
Experience in information/data analysis with a high degree of accuracy

· 
Able to demonstrate strong problem solving and decision-making skills
