Within this role your ideas are valued, your ambition is celebrated and your work genuinely matters. The Opportunity If you are the kind of leader who can turn data into decisions that genuinely change outcomes, this is a rare opportunity. As our Manager, Workforce Optimisation & Insights, you will sit at the centre of our Service & Experience (S&E) division, helping our frontline teams deliver an easier, more seamless experience for members through sharp forecasting, smart capacity planning, and insights that lead to action. You will build on a workforce planning function that is performing strongly and has momentum, then take it further. The opportunity here is to elevate how we use insights across the business, lift capability, and help leaders see the story behind the numbers so they can act with confidence. In this role you will have direct exposure to senior leaders and a genuine opportunity to influence decisions at pace. You will work closely with the Data Office, partner across the division, and lead a team of specialists, supporting their ongoing development, capability growth, and impact across the business. In this role, you will: * Lead short, medium and long-term workforce forecasting, capacity and resource planning across customer channels. * Build and embed workforce management strategies that improve agility, productivity, and cost-to-serve outcomes. * Translate complex data into clear insights, recommendations, and initiatives that leaders can act on. * Lift the maturity of the insights function by shaping direction, improving storytelling, and linking insights to operational actions. * Partner with the Data Office through established cadences to improve alignment, ways of working, and outcomes from shared data priorities. * Lead and develop a team of workforce planning and insights specialists, building bench strength, cross-skilling, and a high engagement culture. About you You are an exceptional operator and leader who can move comfortably between strategy and detail. You know how to bring people with you, lift capability, and create clarity in complex environments. You are curious, action oriented, and have a strong instinct for what will genuinely improve service outcomes and operational performance. Most importantly, you know how to turn insight into action. You can take a room of leaders from “here are the numbers” to what it means, the decision we need to make, and what we do next. You build trust through practical thinking, strong communication, and a clear focus on outcomes. You will also bring: * Proven people leadership experience, with a track record of coaching, developing, and uplifting capability in specialist teams. * Strong data and insights background, including translating analysis into recommendations and actions at leadership level. * Experience in workforce planning and workforce management, including forecasting, capacity planning, and resource modelling. * Confidence with workforce management platforms and tools, ideally including Genesys Cloud CX and or workforce management software. * Strong capability in business intelligence, dashboards and reporting, with the ability to simplify and communicate a clear narrative for different audiences. * Pragmatic, outcomes-focused style with strong stakeholder management, influencing and negotiation skills.
