EMEA Resource Coordinator in Manchester

This role is perfect for someone with 1-3 years' experience, who is looking to quickly broaden their experience in resourcing in professional services and operational co-ordination.

We believe a better way is possible – a more programmatic, proactive approach to actively manage technology throughout the investment lifecycle – and that’s what we do.

The Resource Operations team is responsible for the management and effective scheduling of our resources for all our client engagements. At Crosslake, our resource is our people; project delivery teams made up of an unmatched community of highly skilled professionals, including FTEs and practitioners—architects, engineers, consultants, and former CTOs and CIOs.

As a Resource Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in supporting the management of our resource pool. You’ll act as a primary point of contact, keeping consistent communication with resources to provide real-time visibility of availability and skills, along with driving timely updates, reporting and administration activities.

Working across Salesforce, Suite Projects Pro and our internal tracking tools, you’ll help maintain a single, trusted view of capacity and project timelines so stakeholders can rely on accurate resourcing data. This is a remote role working autonomously, prioritising your workload, driving follow-ups, and keeping systems up to date while collaborating with the team via Slack, email and Zoom. You will also have access to the Manchester City Centre hot desking office.

• Demonstrated ability to pull together information from multiple sources, reconcile discrepancies, and have a holistic view of team, project and operational needs.
• Strong attention to detail and a “data hygiene” mindset; able to maintain accuracy across multiple systems and spot inconsistencies before they become issues.

• Takes initiative and has a willing, collaborative attitude.
• Proficient in Microsoft - particularly Excel and Outlook.

• Experience in dealing with varying levels of seniority.
• Experience in resource coordination, scheduling, staffing operations, project coordination, or professional services operations is highly desirable.
• Exposure to private equity-backed environments, M&A/technology due diligence, or time-sensitive deal contexts is a plus; ability to learn quickly is required.
• Able to identify opportunities to improve templates, taxonomies, and workflows that increase accuracy and reduce turnaround time (process improvement is encouraged but not required).
