Lead Workforce Manager - Capacity Planning & BPO Strategy

Design and own the capacity planning framework: You'll build the reference model and set the forecasting cadence, templates, and definitions every factory's WFM analyst works from.

Optimise the internal vs. BPO capacity mix: You'll build the system that determines the right balance of internal agents and BPO capacity to cover workload at the lowest sustainable cost and risk, across all factories.

Own the global BPO budget view: You'll hold the actuals-vs-plan picture for exec reporting, interface with Finance on planning and reconciliation, and surface cross-factory cost inefficiencies invisible at the local level.

Lead BPO relationships at a strategic level: You'll be the senior point of contact for BPO partners on capacity, contracts, and escalations — and define the invoice validation standard used across all factories.

Enable and align factory-level WFM analysts: You'll set the standards and operating cadence for factory analysts through dotted-line governance, and run the monthly cross-factory alignment ritual covering forecast review, capacity risk, and invoice anomalies.

WFM leadership with BPO depth: You’ve led Workforce Management with hands-on exposure to both BPO-managed and internal-agent capacity models. You’ve managed outsourcing relationships at a contractual and strategic level, and held partners accountable to real standards.

Methodology builder, not just operator: You’ve designed or significantly overhauled a capacity planning framework. You know what it takes to build one from scratch, not just run what’s already there.

Influence-based leader: You’re effective without direct authority. You set standards, coach local relays, and drive adoption across semi-autonomous teams who don’t report to you.

AI-curious: You look for ways to use AI to work faster and smarter, and you’re ready to keep adapting as the role evolves with it.

French and English fluency: You have a strong command of both French and English.

A founding mandate in a brand-new, centralized operations function — you'll help shape how it works from day one.
