Working with stakeholders across Retail countries and ING Hubs, you will develop and maintain strategic forecasting and capacity planning models that support thousands of colleagues involved in onboarding, periodic reviews, and event‑driven reviews.

You will use data, predictive modelling, and operational insights to enable effective workforce planning, optimise work allocation, and support informed business decisions. Your work will help ensure a consistent, efficient, and customer‑focused approach to service delivery across geographies.

About the Team

You will join the Retail FCP COE Process & Design organization and functionally report to the Global WFM Lead. The team works closely with Operations Leads across Retail countries and ING Hubs, along with specialists from process, solutions, and risk functions.

Together, you'll drive global standardisation, improve operational performance, and build scalable workforce management capabilities that support ING's commitment to helping customers stay a step ahead in life and business.

• Develop, maintain, and continuously improve forecasting and capacity planning models.
• Analyse workload, touch times, capacity requirements, and operational performance trends.
• Provide recommendations on work prioritisation, allocation, and timing based on business needs and risk indicators.
• Support end‑to‑end flow management for customer due diligence processes.
• Prepare and facilitate forecast discussions to support operational decision‑making.
• Collaborate with front office, operations, and other key stakeholders to gather business inputs and planning assumptions.
• Support work distribution strategies across teams, locations, and geographies.
• Deliver meaningful data analysis and reporting that supports strategic planning and financial forecasting.
• Identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and contribute to achieving operational performance targets.
• Drive continuous improvement through fact‑based decision making and stakeholder engagement.

Essential qualifications:

• Master's degree in Business Administration, Data Analytics, Econometrics, Finance, Operational Research, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of experience in a complex operational environment such as KYC, Mortgages, or comparable high‑volume processing operations.
• Proven experience in forecasting, workforce planning, and capacity management.
• Strong analytical and numerical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
• Experience with data analysis and planning tools such as SQL, SAS, Cognos, Python, Think‑cell, and advanced Excel/VBA.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
• Ability to work effectively with stakeholders across different countries, functions, and cultures.

Nice to have:

• Experience supporting large‑scale, international operations.
• Exposure to change management and process improvement initiatives.
