We are looking for a strategic, data science-driven leader to own and evolve the Demand Planning function within the Workforce Management (WFM) organization. In this M3 role, you will be responsible for building and scaling the models, systems, and processes that forecast enterprise demand—helping the company align capacity, staffing, and investment with the realities of a dynamic, customer-centric operation.This is not a traditional planning role—demand planning is the function, and data science is the craft. You will lead a team that applies advanced modeling techniques, scenario analysis, and deep business context to forecast volume, case mix, seasonality, and other demand drivers that influence how we staff, budget, and operate. Responsibilities
  • Own the enterprise-wide demand forecasting strategy, ensuring it is rigorous, data-informed, and embedded in operational and financial planning cycles.
  • Design and lead the development of predictive models using time series analysis, machine learning, and simulation methods to forecast future workforce demand.
  • Translate complex business signals into model features, accounting for drivers such as customer volume, operational complexity, product launches, and policy changes.
  • Manage and grow a high-performing team of data scientists and analysts who specialize in demand modeling and scenario planning.
  • Operationalize forecasting outputs by delivering timely, accurate, and scenario-based projections to partners across Finance, Capacity Planning, and Operations.
  • Build scalable infrastructure to support automated pipelines, forecast versioning, model monitoring, and reproducibility in partnership with data engineering.
  • Continuously evaluate and improve forecast performance, incorporating new data sources, evolving business needs, and changes in planning granularity.
  • Influence key decisions through clear communication of forecast insights, risks, and trade-offs with executive stakeholders.
  • Foster a planning culture grounded in scientific thinking, modeling excellence, and strategic relevance.
