Resource Manager (Contract)

13-Month Fixed Term Contract (Immediate start)

Things change quickly here. That's exactly why you'll love it.

We're looking for an experienced Resource Manager who thrives when priorities shift, demand changes and new challenges land on their desk.

Someone who doesn't panic when the plan changes.

Someone who enjoys working things out.

Someone who can look at a complex resourcing challenge and immediately start thinking about solutions.

At Korn Ferry, our Resource Managers play a critical role in helping the business respond to client demand, deploy talent effectively and keep our consultants engaged, utilised and performing at their best.

No two days are the same.

One minute you'll be helping shape staffing plans for a significant new opportunity. The next you'll be working with leaders across the business to solve a critical resourcing challenge, identify capability gaps or find creative ways to meet changing client needs.

What you'll be doing

You'll partner closely with consulting leaders and consultants across the UK&I and wider EMEA region to:

• Drive workforce planning, utilisation and talent deployment.
• Anticipate future demand and identify resource needs before they become problems.
• Build strong relationships with stakeholders across the business.
• Support complex staffing decisions and navigate competing priorities.
• Balance commercial needs, client demands and consultant development.
• Use data, technology and AI-enabled tools to support smarter decision making.
• Help shape how Resource Management continues to evolve within Korn Ferry.

What we're looking for

We're less interested in where you've worked and more interested in how you work.

You'll succeed in this role if you:

• Enjoy working in fast-paced environments.
• Can adapt quickly when priorities change.
• Are comfortable operating with ambiguity.
• Take ownership and don't wait to be told what to do.
• Build credibility and relationships quickly.
• Ask questions, challenge constructively and influence stakeholders.
• Bring energy, curiosity and a solutions-focused mindset.
• Have previous Resource Management or Workforce Planning experience.

Why join us?

Because you'll have real impact.

You'll be joining a collaborative, supportive team where your judgement matters, your ideas are welcomed and your work directly influences how we deliver for our clients.

If you're looking for a predictable role where every day follows the same routine, this probably isn't it.

But if you're motivated by variety, complex problem-solving, stakeholder engagement and making things happen in a constantly evolving business, we'd love to hear from you.

Available immediately or on a very short notice period? Let's talk.
