Resource managers are responsible for managing the non-human resources of an organization. Resource managers rarely work on small teams. Instead, they operate at an organizational level and allocate resources to the various teams as necessary.
The most common variation of this job role is the human resource manager. They are responsible for everything from staff allocation to hiring new talent for the workforce. Sometimes, human resource managers may also hire and train staff.
Other resource manager roles are not so common because they are often grouped into another title. For example, managing financial resources could also be done by the organization's Chief Financial Officer. Office administrators handle supply resources, and employees are tasked with managing their own time.
To become a resource manager, you'll need a bachelor's degree in human resource management or a similar field. You'll also need 3-5 years' experience working in a related field, as well as excellent interpersonal skills.
