Job Summary

The Senior Long-Range Forecasting & Capacity Planning Analyst is responsible for developing long-term staffing, capacity, and financial plans for operations driven primarily by projects, tickets, cases, and other non-call workloads.

This role partners with Operations, Finance, and business leaders to forecast demand, determine staffing requirements, support budgeting, evaluate new initiatives, and quantify productivity and cost-saving opportunities. Because traditional forecasting tools do not support many of these workloads, this role will also be responsible for developing and maintaining custom forecast and staffing models.

Success in this role requires more than producing a forecast. The individual must understand the business drivers behind the forecast, translate those drivers into financial and operational impacts, and provide clear recommendations on the actions the business should take.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain custom forecasting, staffing, and capacity models for project-, ticket-, case-, and other non-call workloads.
• Translate workload forecasts into staffing requirements using productivity, utilization, shrinkage, and other operational assumptions.
• Support annual budgeting, monthly finance reviews, and workforce-related financial planning.
• Analyze actual performance against forecast and budget and explain key staffing and expense variances.
• Assess staffing and financial impacts of new products, initiatives, projects, or business changes.
• Build business cases to quantify headcount needs, labor savings, cost avoidance, productivity gains, and ROI.
• Track whether initiatives deliver expected staffing or financial benefits.
• Use analytics to identify risks, capacity opportunities, and process improvements.
• Partner with business leaders to understand future demand and provide clear staffing and financial recommendations.
• Lead improvements to forecasting and capacity-planning processes, tools, and methodologies.
• Mentor analysts and provide guidance on forecasting, financial modeling, and business analysis.
• Consistent exercise of independent judgment and discretion in matters of significance.
• Regular, consistent and punctual attendance. Must be able to work nights and weekends, variable schedule(s) as necessary.
• Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
