What you'll be doing

• Volume & Headcount Forecasting: Develop advanced, data-driven volume and headcount forecasts using historical data, seasonal trends, business cycles, and other relevant factors. Deliver accurate forecasts across all business units to support operations and service delivery.


• Forecasting Models: Design and implement sophisticated forecasting models that account for complex variables such as customer demand patterns, advisor availability, shift patterns, and external factors (e.g., market trends, seasonal events).

• Capacity Planning: Work collaboratively with our capacity planning team and long-term forecasting strategic teams. You'll assist with short-term and long-term capacity planning efforts by translating forecasted volumes into actionable staffing requirements, ensuring service levels are met while optimising resource utilisation.
