The Forecasting Analyst is responsible for producing accurate long-term and short-term workload forecasts, translating demand into staffing and capacity requirements, and developing operational schedules for contact center environments. The role must be able to build and maintain forecasts both within Workforce Management platforms and independently using Excel or other analytical methods when a WFM tool is unavailable. This position supports multiple clients and lines of business (LOBs), requiring the analyst to manage differing demand patterns, service objectives, operating models, and planning timelines.

The position owns forecast assumptions, capacity plans, staffing scenarios, schedule generation, and forecast-versus-actual analysis, and partners with Operations, Finance, Workforce Management, and Leadership to support service, productivity, and cost objectives.

• Develop long-term forecasts and capacity plans by month, week, day, and interval, as applicable, using historical demand, business growth, seasonality, events, channel mix, and operational assumptions.
• Produce short-term forecasts and reforecasts that reflect recent trends, known business changes, backlog, shrinkage, average handling time, and emerging demand patterns.
• Build forecasts both within WFM platforms and through manual or offline models using Excel or equivalent analytical tools; validate results across methods and document all assumptions.
• Translate volume and workload forecasts into staffing requirements using appropriate workload, occupancy, shrinkage, service-level, response-time, and productivity assumptions.
• Create and maintain capacity plans that show required, available, and projected staffing; identify surpluses, deficits, hiring needs, overtime requirements, and other mitigation options.
• Run staffing scenarios and sensitivity analyses to assess the impact of changes in demand, average handling time, shrinkage, attrition, hiring, productivity, and service targets.
• Generate, optimize, and maintain schedules aligned to interval demand, staffing requirements, labor rules, contractual constraints, employee availability, and business operating hours.
• Monitor forecast accuracy and bias, compare forecast to actual results, investigate variances, and implement corrective actions to improve future forecasts.
• Maintain forecasting calendars, model versions, assumptions, data sources, methodologies, and governance documentation.
• Manage concurrent forecasting, capacity-planning, and scheduling cycles…
