Tempo

1d • Remote

About The Position

Tempo is trusted by over 30,000 customers, including a third of Fortune 500 companies, to enhance workflow efficiency. They offer integrated solutions for time management, resource planning, budget management, roadmapping, program management, and reporting. Starting in 2007 as a time-tracking tool for Jira, Tempo has grown to be a leading name in the Atlassian ecosystem, continuously innovating and creating new solutions. Tempo builds the infrastructure for how modern enterprises plan and execute work. Their newest platform, Loop, is an Adaptive Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) system designed to help organizations orchestrate strategy, capacity, and delivery, especially as AI reshapes work. Loop provides leadership with a unified platform to set direction, plan, and monitor portfolio activities, offering insights and recommendations. The role addresses the challenge of organizations still using spreadsheets for workforce capacity planning, focusing only on headcount, and reacting slowly to demand. The current tools often fail to provide a complete picture of how work is done by people, teams, and AI. Loop aims to change this by offering a product that helps organizations determine if they have the capacity to deliver on their strategy. The ideal candidate has experience implementing workforce planning or capacity management systems, managing resource allocation for large delivery organizations, or consulting on demand, supply, skills, and cost tradeoffs. This background could come from workforce management consulting, professional services operations, HR technology implementation, or resource management within a large PMO.

Requirements

• Deep domain knowledge in resource management.
• 4–8 years in resource management, workforce planning, capacity planning, or related implementation or consulting roles.
• Hands-on experience with the tradeoffs between demand, supply, skills, and cost in a real delivery organization.
• Familiarity with workforce planning systems (Planview, Workday, SAP, ServiceNow, or similar) and understanding where they fall short.
• Curiosity about AI: already using AI in your work and thinking seriously about what it means for enterprise planning, workforce structure and capacity modeling.
• Complexity tolerance: ability to sift through complexity (cost, skills, availability, compliance, and organizational dynamics) and produce clear, structured output for executive audiences.
• Clear communication: ability to write a crisp one-pager that earns alignment without calling a meeting.
• Collaborative by default: sharing plans and pivots early.

Responsibilities

• Drive strategy for the resource management domain while working closely with Product Managers across Loop whose work intersects with yours.
• Work directly with engineering and design from problem definition through shipped feature with minimal handoff and maximum ownership.
• Define how Loop models, surfaces, and helps organizations make decisions about their full workforce capacity, including full-time employees, temporary and contract workers, third-party and partner capacity, gig and on-demand workers, AI-assisted work, and autonomous AI-powered capabilities.
• Own product strategy and roadmap for Loop’s resource management and capacity planning capabilities.
• Own demand-to-capacity matching: identifying gaps, running scenarios, and supporting allocation decisions across a mixed workforce.
• Own skills-based planning: matching the right work to the right resource type, based on a structured skills taxonomy.
• Conduct discovery with Heads of Resource Management, PMO leaders, HR business partners, and workforce planning teams.
• Define how AI surfaces capacity risk, recommends reallocation, and flags strategic drift before it becomes a delivery problem.
