The opportunity
Thanks for your interest in Oklo! We are searching for a Portfolio Planner to join our team.
What you'll do
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 and continuously improve 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 available capacity and identify hiring, redeployment, succession, and external-support needs.
Scenario and Constraint Analysis: Model portfolio sequencing, acceleration, delay, and prioritization scenarios to show the effect on staffing demand, constrained capabilities, project milestones, cost, and organizational readiness. Recommend practical tradeoffs and mitigation actions.
Integrated Operating Plan: Build and maintain a portfolio-level operating plan that connects project milestones, workload demand, approved headcount, hiring lead times, and functional commitments. Establish recurring planning cadences with project and department leaders.
Management Accounting and Value Frameworks: Partner with Finance and Accounting to develop increasingly robust frameworks for understanding internal resource deployment, total project costs, eligible cost treatment, and internal value contribution while respecting accounting policy ownership and project-funding requirements.
What they're looking for
- Data Governance and Systems: Define data ownership, update frequency, quality checks, and change controls for portfolio planning inputs. Improve the connection among scheduling, project controls, financial, workforce, and reporting systems to create a trusted planning dataset.
- Portfolio Insights and Executive Reporting: Produce clear views of portfolio demand, capacity gaps, staffing risks, utilization trends, and decision points. Convert complex cross-project data into executive-ready recommendations for leadership, annual planning, and investment decisions.
- Continuous Improvement: Use actual staffing and project performance data to calibrate demand assumptions, document lessons learned, improve planning accuracy, and build a repeatable basis for FOAK-to-NOAK resource planning.
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, Operations, Finance,: Business, Data Analytics, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience
