Are you ready to shape the future of global consulting resourcing? At Columbus, we’re looking for a visionary and hands-on leader to take on the Planning & Resource Allocation Director role—a strategic position at the heart of our global delivery model.

Location: UK (Nottingham), DK (Ballerup, Aarhus) , NO (Oslo), SE (Stockholm, Gothenburg or Malmö).

Start Date: After the summer

What you'll do

As our Planning & Resource Allocation Director, you will take the lead in driving global resource planning across all business lines and markets. You’ll ensure staffing is closely aligned with pipeline forecasts and delivery timelines, making sure the right people are in the right place at the right time.

You’ll promote using planning tools like Silverbucket and push the boundaries of innovation through AI, predictive modelling, and the Microsoft Power Platform. Balancing onshore, nearshore, and offshore capabilities will be a key part of your role, as well as navigating labour laws and visa requirements in complex, global environments.

Working closely with Talent Acquisition, you’ll help accelerate hiring while supporting strategic upskilling initiatives. You’ll play a critical role in driving cultural change—promoting the value of resource optimization and encouraging non-traditional staffing models to build a more agile and future-ready workforce.

You’ll also lead our global Resource Planning Application (RPA) community and represent the function in executive forums and strategic meetings, ensuring that resource planning is recognized as a strategic enabler. You will travel to different countries for management or global forum meetings in this role.

What you'll bring

• Proven experience in global resource planning, ideally within consulting or professional services.
• Strong understanding of delivery cycles (D365FO/CE/M3/Data & AI) and the skills needed at each phase.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills—you’re comfortable influencing at the executive level.
• A data-driven mindset with the ability to translate insights into action.
• Experience working, networking and communicating across cultures and geographies, especially with India-based teams.
• Experience in leading communities in a cross-functional set-up.

What´s in it for you

Step into a strategic role where your work truly makes a global impact. Help shape how we deliver value across markets and lead a high-visibility, cross-functional community. You'll be able to introduce smarter, more efficient ways of working—like AI-driven resource matching—and drive meaningful change. Join a collaborative, forward-thinking culture that supports innovation, transparency, and continuous improvement.
