About the role

Strategic, analytical role to translate Oklo's project portfolio into an integrated organizational resource and staffing plan, establishing coding structures, modeling demand, and coordinating with finance, operations, and project teams. Reports to the Sr. Director of Project Budgeting and Controls.

Responsibilities

  • Portfolio Schedule Architecture and Coding: Design, implement, and govern a common portfolio schedule coding structure, including project, phase, workstream, department, resource, milestone, and other attributes required to aggregate schedules consistently across Oklo.
  • Resource Demand Methodology: Develop scalable workload requirements by department, project phase, and project archetype. Establish proxy-based demand curves using factors such as project type, total project value, design maturity, regulatory pathway, execution strategy, complexity, and delivery stage.
  • Portfolio Capacity and Headcount Planning: Translate the portfolio schedule and demand curves into rolling resource plans by department, role, capability, location, and time period. Compare demand against capacity and identify hiring, redeployment, succession, and external-support needs.
  • Scenario and Constraint Analysis: Model portfolio sequencing, acceleration, delay, and prioritization scenarios to assess staffing demand, constraints, milestones, cost, and readiness; recommend tradeoffs and mitigation actions.
  • Integrated Operating Plan: Build and maintain a portfolio-level operating plan linking milestones, workload demand, approved headcount, hiring lead times, and functional commitments; establish planning cadences.
  • Management Accounting and Value Frameworks: Develop frameworks for understanding internal resource deployment, total project costs, eligible cost treatment, and internal value contribution in coordination with Finance and Accounting.
  • Data Governance and Systems: Define data ownership, update frequency, quality checks, and change controls for planning inputs; improve connections between scheduling, project controls, financial, workforce, and reporting systems.
  • Portfolio Insights and Executive Reporting: Produce clear views of demand, capacity gaps, staffing risks, utilization trends, and decision points; deliver executive-ready recommendations.
  • Continuous Improvement: Calibrate demand assumptions using actual staffing and project performance data; document lessons learned and improve planning accuracy.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of progressive experience in portfolio planning, workforce planning, project controls, integrated scheduling, operations planning, FP&A, or closely related field
  • Experience translating project schedules or operational plans into resource demand and capacity requirements across multiple departments or projects
  • Experience designing and applying common coding structures, taxonomies, WBS, RBS, or comparable planning frameworks
  • Strong quantitative and modeling skills with proxy-based demand models, scenarios, and leadership insights from imperfect data
  • Advanced spreadsheet skills and experience with scheduling, planning, BI, or workforce-planning tools
  • Proven ability to establish planning processes and data governance across cross-functional teams without direct authority
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, including presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders
