   Strong understanding of forecasting methodologies (workload to FTE modeling, regression/driver based forecasting, scenario planning).
   Demonstrated ability to interpret operational trends and link impacts to cost, capacity, and service performance.
   Demonstrate a willingness to experiment with emerging technologies (e.g., AI-enabled analytics, automation, and planning tools) to enhance forecasting accuracy, speed to insight, and decision support.
   Experience partnering with Financial Analysts to align operational plans with budgets and forecasts.
   Proficiency in Power BI for planning dashboards and analytics; SQL knowledge is an asset.
   Strong analytical problem solving skills and ability to work across complex datasets.
   Excellent communication and stakeholder influence skills, including development of executive ready narratives.
   Ability to operate independently, manage ambiguity, and lead multi cycle planning processes.
   Demonstrated people leadership experience (formal or informal), including coaching, mentorship, or leading through influence.

Preferred Qualifications
