Join us in shaping the future of how we serve our customers

At Bromford Flagship, we're passionate about creating the conditions for our customers - and our colleagues - to thrive. As part of our ambitious Place initiative, we're transforming the way we plan, deploy and invest in our people and resources so we can deliver brilliant services now and in the future.

What this role is all about

You'll lead the way in how we plan our workforce and operational capacity across key services such as our contact centre, repairs, and housing teams. Your work will help ensure we have the right people, in the right place, at the right time - all while delivering great customer outcomes and value for money.

This isn't about property development or capital planning: it's about shaping how we organise, deploy and optimise our operational resources to support future growth and deliver a consistently excellent customer experience.

You'll build a planning framework that gives leaders clear insight, strengthens our forecasting, and improves how we make decisions. You'll also partner closely with Finance to ensure our resource plans align with our budgets and forecasts.

What you'll be doing

• Creating and embedding a strategic resource planning framework for our Place initiative
• Aligning people, demand and capability to our organisational priorities
• Driving operational efficiency and helping us optimise our cost to serve
• Providing scenario modelling and insight that supports confident decision making
• Working closely with senior leaders as a trusted strategic advisor
• Leading and developing a talented planning team focused on continuous improvement

What you'll bring

We're looking for someone who is curious, analytical and confident working with complexity - someone who enjoys shaping new approaches and influencing senior colleagues.

You'll need:

• Experience in strategic resource planning, capacity planning or operational optimisation
• Strong analytical and modelling skills, with the ability to turn insight into action
• Great stakeholder skills and the confidence to influence at senior levels
• Experience leading teams and building planning capability
• An understanding of how financial planning links to operational strategy
• A forward looking mindset and the ability to anticipate future needs

What you'll grow with us

• Broader technical and sector knowledge
• A deeper understanding of what matters most to our customers
• The chance to shape one of our most important strategic programmes
