About Tempo and Loop

Tempo builds the infrastructure layer for how modern enterprises plan and execute work. Our newest platform, Loop, is an Adaptive Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) system — purpose-built to help organizations continuously orchestrate strategy, capacity, and delivery in a world where AI is actively reshaping how work gets done and who — or what — does it.

Loop sits above the execution layer. It gives leadership a unified place to set direction, run planning, and see what’s actually happening across a portfolio, surfacing recommendations from insights that cut through the noise.

About the role

Organizations are still planning workforce capacity in spreadsheets, treating headcount as the only variable, and reacting to demand signals weeks after they should have done something about it. The full picture of how work actually gets done — by people, by teams, and increasingly by AI — is invisible to the tools meant to manage it.

We’re building Loop to change that.

We’re looking for someone who knows this problem from the inside — someone who has implemented workforce planning or capacity management systems, run resource allocation processes for large delivery organizations, or consulted on the hard tradeoffs between demand, supply, skills, and cost. You may have come up through workforce management consulting, professional services operations, HR technology implementation, or resource management within a large PMO.

If you’ve spent years watching organizations struggle to answer whether they have the capacity to deliver on their strategy, and you’re ready to build the product that actually answers it, this is the role.

What you’ll do

Resource management touches nearly every other part of the product. You’ll drive strategy for this domain while working closely with Product Managers across Loop whose work intersects with yours.

We build in small, dedicated teams. You’ll work directly with engineering and design from problem definition through shipped feature with minimal handoff and maximum ownership. We use AI collaboratively throughout our work to streamline communication and accelerate delivery. This is not a traditional product organization. We move fast, build directly, and expect everyone on the team to close the loop between insight and execution.

You’ll define how Loop models, surfaces, and helps organizations make decisions about their full workforce capacity:

• Full-time employees — the core of most capacity plans

• Temporary and contract workers — time-boxed capacity with distinct cost structures and availability constraints

• Third-party and partner capacity — vendor relationships, SOWs, and partner ecosystems that are frequently invisible to portfolio tools

• Gig and on-demand workers — project-specific capacity that is allocated and released rapidly

• AI-assisted work — human-led work supported by AI tools (agents, automation, assisted workflows): what's in use, at what cost, and how it influences capacity

• Autonomous AI-powered capabilities — automated pipelines, agentic workflows, and tools that execute tasks autonomously, without a person involved

Specifically, you’ll own:

• Product strategy and roadmap for Loop’s resource management and capacity planning capabilities

• Demand-to-capacity matching: identifying gaps, running scenarios, and supporting allocation decisions across a mixed workforce

• Skills-based planning: matching the right work to the right resource type, based on a structured skills taxonomy

• Discovery with Heads of Resource Management, PMO leaders, HR business partners, and workforce planning teams

• Defining how AI surfaces capacity risk, recommends reallocation, and flags strategic drift before it becomes a delivery problem

Who you are

We care far more about deep domain knowledge than a traditional product management background. If you have lived inside this problem as a resource manager, workforce planner, PMO leader, implementation consultant, or operations lead, we want to talk to you.

• Domain experience: 4–8 years in resource management, workforce planning, capacity planning, or related implementation or consulting roles. You know what a resource manager actually does on a Monday morning when demand outstrips supply.

• Organizational fluency: hands-on experience with the tradeoffs between demand, supply, skills, and cost in a real delivery organization

• Tooling familiarity: you’ve worked with or around workforce planning systems (Planview, Workday, SAP, ServiceNow, or similar) and you know where they fall short

• Curiosity about AI: you’re already using AI in your work and you’re thinking seriously about what it means for enterprise planning, workforce structure and capacity modeling.

• Complexity tolerance: resource management involves cost, skills, availability, compliance, and organizational dynamics. You can sift through complexity and produce clear, structured output for executive audiences.

• Clear communication: you can write a crisp one-pager that earns alignment without calling a meeting.

• Collaborative by default: you share plans and pivots early, because in a system like Loop, few decisions are truly isolated.
