The Senior Planner is responsible for establishing and maintaining disciplined project planning and controls for complex projects and programs, ensuring predictable execution through integrated schedules, baselines, and structured change control.
Sitting within the BU delivery organization, this role partners closely with Project/Program Managers and delivery leads to create high-quality plans, manage dependencies, track performance, and provide clear visibility into schedule risks and required decisions. The Senior Planner strengthens execution discipline by improving planning maturity, enabling reliable forecasting, and supporting governance cadences.
A critical part of this role is enabling disciplined resource planning and allocation, ensuring staffing assumptions, capacity constraints, and sequencing are visible early and managed through structured planning cadences.
The Senior Planner does not own client relationships, pricing approvals, or delivery outcomes. The role enables delivery success through rigorous planning, transparent reporting, and early risk identification.
Essential Job Responsibilities
- Build and maintain integrated project/program schedules, including work breakdown structure (WBS), dependencies, milestones, and critical path analysis.
- Establish and manage schedule baselines, ensuring changes are controlled, documented, and reflected accurately in planning artifacts and reporting.
- Support Project/Program Managers with planning inputs for delivery governance cadence, including progress tracking, variance analysis, and schedule risk mitigation plans.
- Identify schedule risks early (dependencies, resource constraints, vendor delays, scope changes) and recommend mitigation actions with clear impact assessments.
- Develop and maintain resource-loaded plans (where applicable), including role-based demand, staffing assumptions, and capacity constraints across workstreams.
- Partner with Project/Program Managers and BU delivery leadership to drive allocation readiness, ensuring the right skills are planned, secured, and sequenced to meet critical milestones.
- Identify and escalate resource risks early (skill gaps, over-allocation, availability conflicts), proposing mitigation options such as re-sequencing, scope phasing, or alternative resourcing approaches.
- Facilitate planning workshops with delivery teams to validate assumptions, sequencing, and readiness, ensuring plans are executable and aligned with delivery reality.
- Provide structured planning and controls reporting to BU leadership and client PMO stakeholders as applicable (milestone status, variance, critical path, decision logs).
- Support change control processes by assessing schedule impacts of scope changes and providing clear documentation for approval workflows.
- Drive planning discipline and consistency by applying standard templates, schedule quality checks, and planning best practices.
- Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement of planning standards, tools, and practices within the BU.
Required Qualifications
- 6–10 years of experience in project planning, scheduling, project controls, or PMO controls within complex delivery environments.
- Demonstrated ability to build and manage integrated schedules for multi-workstream projects or programs.
- Strong understanding of planning disciplines: WBS, dependency mapping, critical path, baseline management, and variance analysis.
- Experience supporting governance cadences and working with PMs to drive disciplined execution.
- Strong communication skills and ability to translate schedule data into clear insights and decisions.
- Experience operating in matrixed, multi-stakeholder environments (delivery, vendors, client PMO).
- Bachelor’s degree required or equivalent relevant experience.
- Experience in asset-intensive or regulated environments.
- Proficiency with scheduling tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6, Smartsheet, or equivalent).
- Experience with integrated cost/schedule reporting and structured change control.
- Relevant certifications (PMP, PMI-SP, Primavera certifications) are a plus.
Success Measures
- Schedule quality and stability (clear baselines, controlled changes, accurate critical path)
- Early identification and mitigation of schedule risks and dependency issues
- Improved staffing predictability: fewer schedule disruptions caused by unplanned resource constraints, late allocations, or skill coverage gaps.
- Improved predictability and transparency in delivery governance
- Reduction of schedule-related surprises and rework
- Positive feedback from PMs, BU leadership, and client PMO counterparts on planning rigor
- Contribution to standardized planning templates and best practices.
