About this role
As a Manager, Workforce Planning, you will lead planning for our rider and merchant support ops, own KPI performance, and partner cross-functionally to keep staffing supply aligned with business priorities.
This role flexes across two tracks depending on team needs and where your strengths lie: an Audience-facing track, where you act as the primary bridge between a specific line of business and the Workforce Management function, translating business goals into capacity plans and performance reporting; and a Technical track, where you directly supervise the in-house and outsourced sites, focusing on the technical accuracy of capacity models and the tools behind them. Both tracks require a leader who can navigate ambiguity, identify root causes through data, and manage up and across with clarity and confidence.
Responsibilities
- Own capacity plans and scheduling coverage across an integrated scope spanning in-house and outsourced/vendor sites
- Own KPI performance - service level, occupancy, over/under staffing, and quality - and lead root-cause analysis and recovery planning when performance slips
- Anticipate staffing risks and deviations before they affect service, and put proactive mitigation plans in place
- Lead goal-setting for your area and track progress, translating results into clear updates for leadership
- Partner cross-functionally to align staffing supply with evolving business priorities, and drive process and efficiency improvements
- Communicate performance, blockers, and root causes clearly to leadership while maintaining strong cross-functional relationships
- Act as the primary bridge between your assigned line of business and the Workforce Management function
- Translate business goals into capacity plans and performance reporting that keep service levels on track
- Manage outsourced/vendor relationships tied to your audience, holding partners accountable to staffing commitments and service level targets
- Build trust and influence with business stakeholders, surfacing trade-offs and risks clearly and proactively
- Own the technical accuracy of capacity models, forecasting methodology, and underlying assumptions
- Ensure planning tools and systems are used to their full potential, and lead improvements to the models, templates, and tools themselves
- Translate high-level goals into precise, data-driven staffing blueprints the broader team can execute against
Requirements
- You have 5-7 years of experience in workforce management, capacity planning, or operations, including experience leading or directly managing a team
- You re fluent in workforce management fundamentals: capacity planning, forecasting, scheduling, shrinkage, and occupancy
- You bring strong analytical rigor and are comfortable with data tools such as SQL, Excel, and Tableau
- You have a track record of driving measurable performance improvements across cross-functional teams
- You re a confident, clear communicator, able to influence and align stakeholders across functions and levels
- You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and enjoy solving complex problems
- You have a Bachelor s degree or equivalent practical experience
- You have experience managing outsourced/vendor relationships, including staffing commitments and service level accountability
- You re a skilled business partner, comfortable owning KPI outcomes and communicating trade-offs to stakeholders outside of WFM
- You bring hands-on experience with workforce management software (e.g., NICE, Verint, Genesys, or Aspect) and forecasting/capacity modeling methodology
- You ve improved planning tools, models, or templates, and enjoy going deep on the technical mechanics behind a capacity plan
