- Negotiate priorities, resolve resource conflicts, and manage escalations in a diplomatic and solutions-oriented manner.

- Provide regular resource utilization and availability reports to executive leadership and program governance bodies.

Process Improvement & Governance

- Develop, document, and refine resource management processes, tools, and templates for SAP deployments within the PMO.

- Champion the adoption of resource management best practices and align with organizational policies and compliance requirements.

- Support audit and compliance activities related to resource deployment in SAP projects.

Tool & Data Management

- Leverage resource management and project portfolio management (PPM) tools (e.g., Planview Enterprise, MS Project, MS-Office 365, PBI) to track assignments, utilization, and forecast trends.

- Ensure data accuracy and integrity in resource planning systems, enabling informed decision making and reporting.
