As the Senior Manager, Resource Planning, you'll hold accountability and ownership of the operational results delivered by a team of Analysts and Senior Analysts assigned to multiple queues within a specific Line of Business. Senior Analysts own the forward-looking planning horizon (three weeks and beyond), working closely with Mid-Range Planners to align capacity plans and translate them into actionable staffing strategies, while Analysts own the near-term horizon, from intraday execution through the next two weeks. You will set direction and priorities across both horizons, ensure a seamless handoff from longer-range plans into near-term execution, and hold the team accountable for the key operational metrics: Service Level (Intraday, Daily and Weekly), Short Range Forecast Accuracy, Schedule Effectiveness and Cost Accountability (Occupancy). Your role is critical to the execution of the Resource Planning strategy to achieve patient experience, quality and financial goals. You will interface with all areas of Specialty, inclusive of multiple levels of leadership, and must develop a deep understanding of the business and have the ability to influence and impact others.

As the Senior Manager, Resource Planning, you will need to possess a strong working knowledge of workforce management tools and processes, as well as the ability to influence others and lead workforce migration strategy across cross-functional organizations.

You are accountable for the growth of the team along a defined career path. Analysts build their foundation in near-term execution, mastering intraday management, schedule adherence, and short-range forecasting through the two-week horizon. As they progress to Senior Analyst, their focus shifts to the three-week-and-beyond horizon, where they partner closely with Mid-Range Planners and gain exposure to capacity planning, staffing strategy, and longer-range forecasting. This progression positions Senior Analysts as the pipeline for future Mid-Range and Long-Range Planning roles. You will coach team members at each stage, identify readiness for advancement, and ensure a steady flow of developed talent across the Resource Planning organization.

As the Senior Manager, Resource Planning you will collaborate with various departments to analyze data and lead data-driven decisions that support assigned Line of Business objectives. You'll be responsible for leading a blended planning model that manages phone activity and off-phone work-in-progress (WIP) as one integrated workload. This includes forecasting and staffing WIP volumes alongside inbound and outbound call demand, monitoring backlog, aging and turnaround time, and setting clear prioritization rules for when staff flex between phone and off-phone work. Analysts will balance phone and WIP coverage intraday and through the two-week horizon to protect Service Level while preventing backlog growth, while Senior Analysts will incorporate WIP demand into longer-range capacity plans in partnership with Mid-Range Planners. You will lead initiatives that improve blended efficiency and build team capabilities that drive positive outcomes.
