As the specialist in Labour Planning, you will take ownership for the successful, smooth, and rapid development and validation of our Labour Models. You'll be responsible for: Labour Model Design and Validation: Designing, building, and maintaining sophisticated, data-driven Productive Labour Models that accurately predict required labour hours based on workload across diverse store and site formats
Data Sourcing and Integrity: Working with cross-functional teams to identify, capture, and ensure the high integrity of data necessary for model development, including conducting statistical analysis on task measurement outputs.
Model Implementation Support: Providing analytical support and insight during the implementation of new scheduling systems, ensuring models are correctly configured and benefits are delivered against agreed metrics.
Creating and managing analytical dashboards and reports to continuously monitor the performance of the Labour Models post-deployment, highlighting variance, identifying anomalies, and recommending adjustments.
Building strong, collaborative relationships with operational and project teams to translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders.
Monitoring, identifying, and actioning data-driven issues or risks specific to model accuracy and efficacy, ensuring models are always fit for purpose.
Delivering measurable labour efficiency and cost savings through the precision of the Labour Models.
