Job description

Online Workforce Planning Consultant – Remote Opportunity

Let’s Start with the Big Picture Imagine having the freedom to work from anywhere while helping a team stay organized, focused, and ready for what’s next. This isn’t about pushing paperwork. It’s about ensuring people have what they need to do great work — and making smart calls so projects keep moving forward.

Why This Role Matters

Without planning, even the best teams can run into chaos. Tasks get lost, deadlines slip, and workloads spiral. Your role is to prevent that. You’ll keep the right people in the right spots at the right time, so nothing important falls through the cracks. It’s a bit like keeping a train on track while new rails are being laid.

How You’ll Make a Difference

You’ll be the go‑to person for staffing and scheduling clarity. You’ll:

• Spot where resources are stretched thin.
• Plan ahead so hiring and workloads feel manageable.
• Adjust quickly when things change unexpectedly.

One day you might be reviewing a quarterly staffing plan. Another day, you might be helping a team respond to a sudden surge in customer requests.

A Week in This Role

No two weeks look exactly the same, but you might:

• Monday: Talk with team leads about upcoming priorities. Maybe you help shift tasks so deadlines stay realistic.
• Midweek: Look at workload data and notice a spike in certain areas. You flag it early and plan extra coverage.
• Friday: Share a clear, simple forecast for next quarter so leaders can make early hiring decisions.

Skills That Count

This role works best for someone who:

• Understands numbers but explains them simply.
• Balances multiple projects without losing track.
• Suggests better ways of working when needed.
• Communicates openly, even when delivering tough updates.
• Has experience with workforce tools, but being able to spot patterns and think ahead is even more important.

What Remote Life Looks Like

We know remote work can feel quiet, so we stay connected. Weekly team calls, casual chats, and quick updates keep things moving. You’ll set your own routine but never feel isolated. Picture this: morning coffee at your desk, focused project work before lunch, then an afternoon brainstorming session with teammates in different time zones.

Tools You’ll Use

You’ll have:

• Analytics software for easy forecasting.
• Simple collaboration tools.
• Dashboards that make sense at a glance.

Success After 6 Months

You’ll know you’re thriving when:

• Deadlines are met without burnout.
• Hiring decisions happen before they’re urgent.
• Leaders trust and rely on your forecasts.
• You’re actively shaping plans, not just reacting.

The Challenges

• Budgets shift.
• Priorities change.
• Sometimes you’ll need to explain that a project can’t move forward without more hands.

Room to Grow

From refining analytics skills to leading strategy, you’ll find ways to grow here. We back our team with training, mentorship, and projects that push your skills forward.

The Details

Location: Fully remote

Salary: $109,500 per year

Schedule: Flexible, with some shared team hours

Team: A close group of planners, HR partners, and project leads

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll work where your input matters, in a company that values balance and avoids the "always on" trap. Here, when the day ends, you log off.

Your First Week

You’ll meet the team, shadow another consultant, and lead a small project by the end of the week — with guidance every step of the way.

Global Applicants Welcome: Candidates from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, India and other eligible regions worldwide are encouraged to apply.
