  • Perform historical, same-day, and forward-looking RCA to identify drivers of forecast variance and shifts in workload trends; present findings and solution-oriented recommendations to stakeholders
  • Lead weekly meetings to collect forecast inputs from cross-functional teams, as well as share out forecasting outputs

  • Build and refine WFM dashboards to communicate Workforce metrics and insights (forecast variance, accuracy, staff delivery, occupancy, etc) to stakeholders, and enable WFM team RCA 
  • Perform sensitivity analysis to support scenario testing
  • Support internal and external audits
  • Drive organizational understanding of forecasting value by presenting forecasting processes and best practices to stakeholders in an easy-to-understand format
  • Continuously calibrate and refine forecasting tools and strategies based on team feedback and evolution of Trust & Safety roadmap and OKRs

  • Self-starter with demonstrated experience independently leading, driving, and executing large-scale projects and complex deliverables
  • Ability to navigate, extract, manipulate, interpret, and organize imperfect and/or limited data in a startup environment where team, tools, and processes are not fully established
