As the global Workforce Management Director, you will run a team that plays an integral role in ensuring reliability and consistency of our 24/7 service through appropriate staffing. You will define the Global WFM strategy across main functions (Forecasting, Scheduling, Real-time Operations and Technology). Supporting a large global operation with constantly changing volume, location and language needs, you will use data, scheduling and forecasting tools to determine our ongoing staffing requirements. Success in this respect means we consistently achieve all core service level agreements (SLAs), and deliver best in class service as cost-effectively as possible. In addition, you will lead on longer-term forecasting that ensures we are poised to effectively handle expected business growth and as one-off events. Examples include onboarding of new clients, global events such as the Olympics and technological improvements that increase our productivity. You will ensure that business leaders have the information they need with enough advance notice to right-size our team ahead of such business changes. Who We Are At Ten our goal is simple, to become the most trusted service business in the world. We are already the global market leader for lifestyle management and concierge services, providing services from a 20 + strong global office network with over 800 employees. We use our expertise, technology and buying power to grant our members direct access to the best travel, live entertainment, dining and luxury retail services. We also work closely with suppliers to provide exclusively negotiated benefits and employee loyalty schemes. We deliver our service through a combination of Ten's proprietary, unique technology-enabled platform and the expertise of our highly trained lifestyle managers. Ten is growing quickly and has ambitious plans to keep innovating, inspiring and to continue to improve the lives of millions of members. Will you help take us there? Requirements Strong, sound knowledge of workforce planning and optimisation with a preference for experience using at least one industry-leading Workforce Management platform i.e. Genesys, Cornerstone, Blue Pumpkin Successful track record of leading the resource planning function with service-oriented organisations Proven leadership in a team based setting where creating and communicating shared goals and purpose are fundamental drivers of success A confident presenter in both written and verbal communications, able to articulate complex projects and ideas into simple, concise language. An innovative thinker; always strives to improve and better service delivery, including searching out the market and identify the best practices and new techniques to enhance and accelerate our resource planning capabilities Can manage and lead through complex and dynamic periods of change with the best outcome for the business and staff To be both visionary and pragmatic in evolving Ten's global resource planning methods and the systems used to deliver them; to aim to be industry leading in this space To collaborate with local lead planners that contribute to resource planning and rota activities ensuring that they support the timely delivery of schedules and initiate all required changes day to day to support strong SLAs and business performance High fluency in using data to provide quick, effective analysis and forecasting, including use of Microsoft Excel Ability to organise and to motivate diverse international and cross-departmental teams Proven experience of co-ordinating and delivering communications across multiple international locations First-rate emotional intelligence and the ability to adapt your communication style to a diverse audience where required Fluency in any major world languages will be advantageous Benefits Our people are at the heart of the business and we have a culture of recognition and reward - both through regular appraisals but also annual Extra Mile Awards where we celebrate those who have gone that extra mile in their role. We also encourage all our staff to incorporate their aspirations and interests into their career at Ten and we are there every step of the way in supporting development. All our employees also enjoy a range of benefits regardless of where they are based. Not only do we enjoy monthly Treats on Ten (on the tenth of each month!) but employees also get 3 extra days of annual leave in their third year and an extra month of every 5 years. In line with these milestone lengths of service, we also operate a Ten Loyalty Reward program - this is a bonus (although we prefer to refer to this as 'extra spending money') that is awarded once these milestones are reached. The thinking behind the program is that not only does it recognise and reward commitment and loyalty to the business, but it can also be used to fund the adventures to be had during sabbaticals - this is the main intention and driving force behind the program. We want to give our people extra spending money so that they can truly enjoy their sabbaticals. Other benefits that Ten offer, specific to the UK office, range between an employer-contributory company pension (with a scheme that allows full decision making about what investments are made, levels of risk, ethical funds etc), all the way through to various discounts on both travel and entertainment events (the latter is of course available regardless of location). There are also lots of social events throughout the year (including drinks on the last Friday of the month) as well as a break-out room where employees can relax (or, if they wish, play one of the numerous games we provide!) whilst enjoying our latest fruit drop or "Breakfast on Ten". We also offer season ticket loans, access to childcare voucher and cycle schemes and, one of our more popular perks, working holiday opportunities with the ability to work from any of our 20+ offices without taking annual leave.
