Job Description:

Are you an analytical planner who enjoys turning complex data into clear, actionable business recommendations?

As a Workforce Capacity Planning Analyst, you will partner with operational teams to develop forward-looking workforce plans and help leaders make evidence-based staffing decisions. You will use projected work volumes, staffing data and capacity models to identify future resource needs, analyze business constraints and recommend solutions. Success in this role requires a combination of analytical thinking, clear communication, strong stakeholder relationships and the ability to independently manage changing priorities.

What will you do?

  • Develop and maintain long-range workforce capacity plans, analyzing demand, headcount, attrition, shrinkage, leaves, hiring timing and other factors that affect capacity.
  • Translate forecasts and workforce inputs into evidence-based hiring, staffing and capacity recommendations for operational leaders.
  • Collect, transform and analyze capacity, supply and demand data; identify variances and trends; and assess their impact on staffing plans and key performance indicators.
  • Present analysis and recommendations to senior business leaders and build collaborative relationships with operational partners to support informed decision-making.
  • Partner with operations, forecasters and schedulers to refine plans, balance staffing needs, incorporate changing business requirements and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

What do you need to succeed?

  • Experience in workforce or capacity planning, forecasting, logistics, supply chain, human resources planning, or another analytical planning function, with demonstrated ability to turn data and forecasts into forward-looking business recommendations.
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex analysis clearly, present and support recommendations with senior stakeholders, and build effective working relationships.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities and respond effectively to changing or ad hoc business requests.
  • Experience querying and analyzing data using SQL.
  • Experience using Tableau to visualize data, identify insights and communicate findings to business stakeholders.

Assets

  • Post-secondary education in Business Administration, Statistics, Operations Research, Computer Science, Mathematics, Econometrics, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience using Visual Basic or other automation approaches to improve manual business processes.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Experience with workforce management software such as IEX, Genesys or Pega.
  • Experience working with large or complex datasets, statistical modelling, optimization or queueing theory.

What’s in it for you?

  • An environment of continuous learning, development and improvement.
  • Access to short-term assignments or “Gigs” across the organization to help you develop new skills and connections.
  • A collaborative and interactive team environment.
  • Opportunities to connect, collaborate and learn with colleagues across Sun Life.
  • Time off and well-being programs that support you in focusing on the moments that matter.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
