• Design, code, validate, and maintain workforce demand, supply, capacity, cost, skills, attrition, hiring, and internal-movement models and scenarios.
• Connect workforce, financial, recruiting, skills, and external labor-market data to reveal risks, opportunities, and trade-offs.
• Turn business strategy into bold, evidence-based recommendations on headcount, workforce investments, hiring capacity, restructuring, location strategy, and talent deployment.
• Advise senior leaders, navigate uncertainty, and translate complex analysis into clear decisions and action.
• Lead location and labor-market analyses and partner with Talent Acquisition on recruiting capacity, sourcing, and build-buy-borrow strategies.
• Track plans against results, assess model performance, and help leaders adapt as business conditions change.
• Reimagine and automate planning, modeling, workflows, and reporting through Power Automate, AI, and other technologies.
• Build workforce planning capability across HR and the business through practical tools, guidance, training, and targeted organizational design support.

• Advanced proficiency with Power BI, Power Automate, Excel, Anaplan, SQL, Python, R, UKG Pro, IBM Planning Analytics, or comparable platforms.
• Experience integrating complex workforce, financial, recruiting, and labor-market data with strong data quality, documentation, and control practices.
