A permanent opportunity has become available in London within our Strategic Resource Management function.
The Strategic Resource Management (SRM) function supports the delivery of effective, timely staffing solutions across client engagements, practices, and geographies. The role focuses on execution, coordination, and insight generation, working closely with all Resource Managers and senior stakeholders, to ensure consultants are deployed efficiently and in line with business priorities.
This role plays a key part in enabling a data-driven, structured resource management process, with a particular focus on refining and reducing management information. The role will use judgement to determine what leaders need to make decisions, rather than simply producing every output requested. It also offers strong experience in workforce planning, systems and stakeholder engagement within a fast-paced professional services environment.
The Company
AlixPartners is a leading global business advisory firm of results-oriented professionals who specialise in creating value and restoring performance at every stage of the business life cycle. We thrive on our ability to make a difference in high-impact situations and deliver sustainable, bottom-line results.
This role will support resource management activity across the business, working with stakeholders to coordinate staffing, capacity and workforce planning priorities.
Key Responsibilities
Staffing Execution & Coordination
- Support the day-to-day staffing process by coordinating resource requests, availability, and assignments across teams and engagements.

- Track staffing changes, roll-offs, and upcoming needs to ensure continuity and minimise resourcing gaps.
- Work closely with the Temporary Service Providers Office on the engagement of temporary service providers in support of client and corporate teams. This is an additional responsibility that sits alongside core SRM activity and is becoming more present within the role.
