Role
We're hiring a Workforce Management Contractor for a 6-month contract to operate and maintain our WFM function during a planned leadership leave. This is not a build-from-scratch role, you'll step into an established system of staffing models, forecasting infrastructure, vendor relationships, and cross-functional reporting cadences, and keep them running accurately through a period of significant company growth.
You'll work alongside an AI-driven demand forecasting model that handles volume projections, with your role focused on validating outputs, translating forecasts into staffing and scheduling decisions, managing BPO capacity planning, and co-owning the labor cost model with Finance. You'll coordinate closely with Team Leads, Marketing, Data Science, and Ops leadership to keep workforce planning aligned to business needs.
Key Responsibilities
- Workforce Management & Capacity Planning
- Run demand forecasting and capacity planning using AI model outputs - validate projections, apply bias corrections, and translate forecasts into interval-level staffing plans. Inputs include demand trends, seasonality, product launches, and marketing activity.
- Maintain, update, and improve existing staffing models (headcount-to-volume alignment, SLA modeling, scenario planning) as inputs change - you're not building these from scratch, but you need to understand the logic well enough to adjust, improve, and defend the outputs.
- Build and distribute weekly schedules; coordinate with Team Leads on shift coverage, gaps, and real-time adjustments.
- Drive resource planning for new initiatives, including shift coverage for new channels, skill-based routing changes, and staffing implications of product or geographic launches.
- Own BPO forecast and capacity planning: translate volume projections into vendor capacity needs and flag misalignment early.
- Process contractor invoices on cadence.
- Manage schedule publishing and headcount updates.
- Operational Optimization
- Co-own the monthly Finance labor cost model review, prepare inputs, flag variances, maintain the rolling forecast.
- Work with Product, Engineering, Marketing and Support teams to stay ahead of feature rollouts and changes that will impact volume or staffing needs, as well as feed those inputs into the forecasting and planning cycle.
- Deliver hiring plan recommendations tied to volume projections, attrition trends, and batch hiring constraints.
- Track and report on OKRs: prepare leadership updates, maintain KR tracking, flag risks to targets.
- Stakeholder & System Coordination
- Serve as the primary WFM point of contact for Ops leadership, Finance, and cross-functional partners during the engagement.
- Collaborate with Data Science on predictive model refinement and operational dashboard development.
- Maintain recurring operational reporting cadences
Qualifications/Skills
- 4+ years in workforce management, capacity planning, or workforce operations
- Experience scaling support functions in high-growth companies. You'll be operating the WFM function during a period of significant membership growth, new channel launches, and geographic expansion. Healthcare or digital health experience is a major plus.
- Strong modeling skills and comfort with large datasets. Experience with BI tools (Databricks, Looker, Tableau, or similar) are a plus - you should be able to pull data, validate assumptions, and translate analysis into actionable staffing decisions.
- Experience managing or coordinating BPO vendors: capacity planning, performance tracking, invoice reconciliation.
- Familiarity with WFM tools, helpdesk platforms (we use Intercom), and HRIS/scheduling systems (we use Rippling).
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally with Finance, Marketing, Product, and Data teams.
- Strong operational reporting skills
- Comfortable stepping into an established system. You'll inherit existing models, processes, vendor relationships, and reporting cadences built by the person you're covering for.
Your dedication to these responsibilities will directly contribute to the success of our platform and the satisfaction of our users. We are looking for a proactive, skilled, and forward-thinking individual to join our team and help shape the future of our services.
