What will your day look like?

As a Workforce Planning Manager, you will:

  • Translating forecast demand into workable staffing and schedules, determining how many people are needed, when they are needed, and how work is sequenced to meet service targets efficiently.
  • Owning core planning levers including roster design, shrinkage management, training and leave planning, and scenario modelling, balancing service outcomes, cost, and workforce sustainability.
  • Providing planning insights and advice to leaders, including recommendations when plans require trade-offs between customer, colleague, and cost outcomes
  • Owning intraday performance against plan: monitoring live demand, staffing, and adherence; making timely adjustments to mitigate variances and protect customer experience
  • Leading real-time decision-making across queues, including queue management, schedule movements, and skill/queue loading, with strong discipline on speed and accuracy of interventions
  • Ensuring real-time adjustments are executed promptly (e.g., adjusting breaks, rescheduling off-phone activity, activating overtime/shift slides) and that operational learnings are fed back into planning. 

What will you bring?

To grow and be successful in this role, you will ideally bring the following:

  • Extensive experience in high-volume, complex workforce planning and real-time/intraday management environments.
  • Strong capability to extract and translate workforce data into clear insights and operational actions.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, able to negotiate trade-offs under pressure.
  • Proven people leadership: coaching, capability uplift, and disciplined operating rhythms; including coaching and mentoring planning and real-time team members to build technical capability, resilience, and stakeholder management maturity.
  • Demonstrated experience in continuous/process improvement approaches (e.g., Lean / Six Sigma) is good to have, but is not required.
