Build and maintain manpower order simulations and capacity plans that balance Service Quality targets against cost.

Simulate manpower orders and design multi-scenario / what-if plans (e.g., volume shifts, attrition, channel mix, service-level changes), clearly articulating the cost-versus-Service-Quality trade-offs.

Run multi-scenario strategic and operational planning and present clear trade-offs and recommendations to Customer Care leadership.

Leverage AI assistants to accelerate model building, scenario generation, and calculation logic — validating all outputs before they inform decisions.

• Translate analysis into clear dashboards and reporting (Tableau, spreadsheets) for both operational teams and senior stakeholders.
• Shows ability to troubleshoot problems, identify root causes and provide clear solution recommendations

Coordinate and manage working-level stakeholders across Customer Care operations, business process team, Finance, and CEO Office to align plans with budget and capacity realities.

Scenario analysis

experience designing multi-scenario / what-if / sensitivity analyses and clearly communicating cost-versus-service trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.

Capacity-planning grasp (the strategic-capacity minor)

working understanding of demand forecasting and staffing mechanics — e.g., Erlang-type models, shrinkage, occupancy, schedule adherence, and unit economics such as cost-per-contact / cost-to-serve.

AI aptitude

able and willing to use AI assistants such as Claude to accelerate analytical work — structuring prompts, generating and stress-testing scenario models, and drafting calculation logic — with the discipline to rigorously validate outputs rather than accept them at face value.

Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to manage day-to-day relationships and proactively engage with internal and external stakeholders.

• Ability to balance competing priorities, complex situations, and tight deadlines.
