• Deployment & Bench Utilisation: Lead regular resourcing reviews, manage project allocations across multidisciplinary teams, resolve conflicting priorities, and actively redeploy consultants ahead of project roll-offs.

• Commercial Governance & Rate Negotiation: Negotiate associate day rates within margin guidelines, control project delivery costs, track unallocated capacity, and safeguard overall project profitability.

• Onboarding & Mobilisation: Oversee associate contracts, IR35 determinations, and NHS-standard compliance checks alongside the operations team to guarantee zero delay to client start dates.

• Systems, Metrics & Reporting: Maintain accurate data across ATS and resource planning systems to provide senior leadership with clear reporting on utilisation rates, capability gaps, and delivery risks.

Candidate Profile

• Healthcare/Healthtech Domain Network: Established background in 360° healthcare recruitment (agency) or in-house resourcing/talent acquisition within a digital health or technology consultancy.

• Resource & Capacity Management: Proven experience balancing demand forecasting, consultant utilisation, and multi-project deployments involving both permanent staff and interim contractors.

• NHS Digital Knowledge: Solid understanding of NHS digital transformation agendas, procurement frameworks, and relevant healthcare technical skill sets.

• Executive Presence: High confidence when advising practice leads, challenging delivery priorities, and building trusted relationships with senior interim practitioners.
