As a WFM Planner, you will be responsible for forecasting workload (calls, leads, back-office tasks) and translating it into weekly staffing plans (FTEs). In this role, you will act as the link between historical data, planning assumptions, and staffing execution for both internal teams and BPO partners.
Key Responsibilities

You will be responsible for defining these needs and communicating them effectively to both internal operational teams and BPO partners, ensuring all parties are aligned on the headcount required to meet service level agreements.

Continuously track forecast accuracy against actual performance, identifying variances and their root causes. You will proactively adjust capacity plans and planning assumptions to mitigate risks, optimize resource utilization, and ensure the business remains agile in the face of volume fluctuations.
Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management
Act as a central hub for planning by collaborating closely with Operations, Real-Time Management (RTM), Business Intelligence (BI), and external vendors. You will facilitate data-driven discussions to synchronize recruitment, training, and real-time execution with the long-term workforce strategy.
