Fitch Learning is currently seeking a Senior Director, Head of Strategic Resource Management based out of our London office. Reporting to the Managing Director, Product Strategy, this senior leadership role is responsible for leading Fitch Learning’s strategic delivery resources. The role has direct leadership responsibility for the global full-time faculty population and oversight of associate trainers, independent contractors, and third-party delivery partners.

The Head of Strategic Resource Management will shape the capabilities, capacity, quality, and economics of Fitch Learning’s global delivery model, ensuring the business is positioned to support growth, high-quality client delivery, learner outcomes, and profitability.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

Lead and develop Fitch Learning’s global full-time faculty population, while owning strategic workforce planning, capacity management, deployment, utilization, and capability development across employed and external delivery resources.

Align resource capacity with forecasted demand, sales pipeline, booked revenue, and strategic priorities; identify skills gaps, succession risks, hiring needs, and opportunities to optimize the balance between internal and external resources.

Establish and lead a global faculty quality framework, including trainer observation, programme accreditation, learner and client feedback, capability development, and performance remediation across faculty, associates, and delivery partners.

Drive the modernization of resource planning and scheduling through AI-enabled tools, analytics, automation, predictive forecasting, and scenario planning to improve utilization, scheduling efficiency, capacity coverage, and resource economics.

Partner with Product, Delivery, Finance, HR, Procurement, Legal, and senior business leaders to manage contractor governance, supplier performance, compliance, delivery costs, and investment decisions, while building executive reporting and dashboards on key resource and financial metrics.

You May Be a Good Fit If:

You have significant leadership experience in resource management, workforce planning, capacity planning, or operations within professional services, education, training, consulting, or a comparable delivery-led environment.

You have directly led and developed employed delivery professionals, such as faculty, trainers, consultants, subject-matter experts, or professional services practitioners, in a global or multi-regional organisation.

You have demonstrable experience managing delivery performance, including utilization, quality, capability development, retention, succession planning, and resource deployment.

You have hands-on experience with resource planning, scheduling, or workforce management platforms, as well as strong commercial, financial, and analytical skills.

You have experience using AI, analytics, automation, or data-driven tools to improve demand forecasting, capacity planning, scheduling utilization, or operational decision-making.

What Would Make You Stand Out:

Experience managing global faculty, training, or professional services delivery resources, including seasonal demand cycles and a mix of employed, associate, contractor, and third-party resources.

Experience designing and operating delivery quality assurance programmes, including trainer observation, accreditation, learner feedback, and performance improvement frameworks.

Experience deploying or scaling AI-enabled resource planning, predictive scheduling, utilization modelling, or resource analytics tools.

Experience leading business transformation, operating model change, M&A integration, or the transition of faculty and trainers to virtual, blended, or AI-augmented delivery models.
