1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure we have the right people, with the right skills, in the right places, at the right time. You'll be the person crunching the numbers to predict our future talent needs, helping us avoid those 'oh dear, we needed these people yesterday' moments. It's a bit like being a detective, a forecaster, and a storyteller all rolled into one, making sure our global hiring plans actually make sense.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Workday HCM / SAP SuccessFactors (HRIS)Advanced

You'll be building complex custom reports (e.g., Composite Reports in Workday), understanding the underlying data architecture, and troubleshooting data integrity issues directly in the system. You'll be comfortable navigating all core modules to extract the data you need.

Microsoft Excel (Power Query & VBA)Expert

You're not just using VLOOKUPs; you're an expert in Power Query for ETL tasks (Extract, Transform, Load) to clean and shape messy data. You can write or edit VBA macros to automate repetitive reporting processes and build robust, multi-sheet financial models that others can use.

Tableau / Power BIAdvanced

You'll be building complex, multi-source dashboards with interactive filters and actions. You're comfortable with DAX (Power BI) or LOD expressions (Tableau) to create powerful visualisations and tell compelling data stories to our stakeholders.

SQL (PostgreSQL, T-SQL)Advanced

You'll write complex, multi-table joins, subqueries, and Common Table Expressions (CTEs) to pull and manipulate data from our data warehouse. You'll also be able to use window functions for more sophisticated analysis and optimise your queries for performance.

Anaplan / Workday Adaptive PlanningAdvanced

You'll be building new modules and modifying existing models within our planning platform. You understand the platform's calculation engine, can debug complex formula issues, and will often train business users on how to use the platform effectively for their planning needs.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Headcount Forecast Accuracy
How close your quarterly headcount predictions are to the actual number of people we hire for your assigned business unit/region.
Target · Within +/- 5% variance for quarterly forecasts.

If you forecast 100 new hires for the Sales team in Q3, and we actually hire 97, that's a 3% variance – well within target. If it's 115, we've got a problem.

Standard Report Timeliness & Reliability
Ensuring routine workforce planning reports (e.g., monthly headcount reports, attrition dashboards) are delivered on time and without errors.
Target · 100% on-time delivery for scheduled reports, with <2% error rate flagged by stakeholders.

Your monthly headcount report for EMEA is always out by the 5th working day, and Finance hasn't spotted a single data mismatch in the last three months. That's what we're after.

Data Quality & Integrity
The cleanliness and accuracy of the data you use and prepare for analysis, especially when pulling from multiple sources.
Target · Fewer than 3 critical data integrity issues (e.g., incorrect employee status, missing joiners/leavers) identified per quarter in your primary datasets.

You're pulling data for the APAC region, and you spot that 15 'active' employees in the HRIS actually left last month. You clean that up before anyone else sees it. That's good data hygiene.

Stakeholder Understanding & Adoption
How well your insights are understood and actually used by HRBPs and business leaders to inform their talent decisions.
  • HRBPs regularly reference your forecasts in their planning meetings. They come to you with questions rather than just asking for raw data. You hear them using your insights in conversations with their business leaders. They're not just nodding along
  • they're acting on it.
Proactive Problem Identification
Your ability to spot potential workforce issues (e.g., looming skill gaps, unexpected attrition trends) before they become major problems and bring them to your manager's attention.
  • You flag a sudden increase in attrition for a critical engineering role in Berlin, prompting a discussion with the HRBP. You notice a hiring bottleneck in a specific region and propose a solution before it impacts the overall forecast. You're not just reporting what happened
  • you're anticipating what might.
Process Improvement Contributions
Your ideas and efforts to make our workforce planning processes more efficient, accurate, or easier to understand.
  • You suggest a small tweak to our data collection template that saves everyone an hour a week. You build a simple dashboard that visualises a complex data point, making it accessible to non-analysts. You don't just follow the process
  • you look for ways to make it better.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You enjoy the challenge of taking messy, disparate data sets and figuring out how they fit together to tell a coherent story about our workforce. You like untangling complex headcount requests and building models that actually work.

You're given a vague request for 'next year's engineering headcount' and you love the process of breaking it down, finding the right data, and building a robust projection.

Making a Tangible Business Impact

You're motivated by knowing your work directly informs critical business decisions, like where we open new offices or how many people we hire for a new product launch. You want your analysis to be used, not just admired.

Seeing your forecast presented to the leadership team, and then seeing the hiring plan actually align with your numbers, gives you a real buzz.

Continuous Learning & Improvement

You're always looking for better ways to do things – whether it's optimising a SQL query, learning a new function in Excel, or exploring a different forecasting technique. You thrive in an environment where you can constantly pick up new skills.

You spend your lunch break exploring a new Power BI feature that could make your dashboards more interactive, or you're reading up on the latest trends in talent analytics.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with 'garbage in, garbage out' – your analysis is only as good as the messy data you start with.
  • The 'human factor' – a statistically perfect forecast can be thrown out by an executive's 'gut feeling' or a sudden re-organisation.
  • Being seen as the 'headcount police' rather than a strategic partner, especially when you have to say 'no' to an unrealistic request.
  • Explaining basic analytical concepts (like correlation vs. causation) repeatedly to the same stakeholders.
  • The constant fire drills and last-minute 'urgent' requests that mess up your carefully planned week.
What this role does not give you
  • A perfectly clean, ready-to-analyse dataset handed to you every morning.
  • A predictable, unchanging work schedule with no last-minute demands.
  • Complete autonomy over strategic workforce planning decisions (you'll inform them, not own them at this level).
  • A role where every single piece of analysis you do gets fully implemented and makes a huge impact immediately.

6Who you work with

Your work directly influences our global hiring plans and budget allocation. Getting the forecast right means we can staff critical projects on time, manage our labour costs effectively, and ultimately, deliver on our company's strategic goals. You're helping us make sure we're not just growing, but growing smartly, with our people strategy aligned to our business strategy.

Inside the business
  • HR Business Partners (HRBPs)
  • Talent Acquisition (Recruiting) Leads
  • Finance Business Partners
  • Business Unit Leaders (e.g., Head of Sales, Head of Engineering)
  • HRIS & People Operations teams
Outside the business
  • External market data providers (e.g., Gartner, Mercer)
  • Workforce planning platform vendors (e.g., Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning support)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2-3 years of hands-on experience in a data analysis, business intelligence, or workforce planning role, ideally within a large, global organisation.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain complex data models in Excel (including Power Query) and/or a dedicated planning platform (e.g., Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning).
  • Demonstrable experience with data visualisation tools (Tableau or Power BI) to create clear, actionable dashboards.
  • Solid understanding of SQL for extracting and manipulating data from relational databases.
  • Experience working with HRIS data (Workday or SAP SuccessFactors preferred) and understanding common HR data structures.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Modelling in Planning Platforms

Our workforce planning platform (Anaplan/Workday Adaptive Planning) is constantly evolving, and we're pushing its capabilities further. We need analysts who can build more complex, interconnected models that reflect the nuances of our global business.

Understanding multi-dimensional modelling (e.g., t · Optimising model performance for large datasets · Building complex calculation engines and business · Integrating the platform with other data sources ( · Designing user-friendly interfaces for business us

  • This quarter: Take an advanced certification course offered by Anaplan or Workday Adaptive Planning.
  • Next quarter: Volunteer to lead a small project that involves building a new module or significantly enhancing an existing one.
  • Ongoing: Regularly review platform updates and new features, and share interesting findings with the team.

Quick win: Find a complex formula in an existing model and try to break it down, understand each component, and then rebuild it more efficiently. Or, build a small 'sandbox' model to test out new features.

Deepening SQL for Data Architecture

As we mature, we'll be moving towards more robust data marts for HR. Your SQL skills will need to go beyond just pulling data; you'll need to understand how data is structured, how it flows, and how to query it efficiently for analytical purposes.

Understanding database normalisation and de-normal · Writing efficient queries for large datasets (perf · Using advanced window functions for complex aggreg · Understanding ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) proce · Basic understanding of data warehousing concepts (

  • This quarter: Focus on optimising your most frequently used SQL queries. Can you make them run faster?
  • Next quarter: Learn about window functions if you're not already using them regularly. They're incredibly powerful.
  • Ongoing: Work closely with our Data Engineering team to understand how our HR data warehouse is built and structured.

Quick win: Take one of your existing complex SQL queries and try to rewrite it using a CTE. Or, use `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` to understand how your queries are performing and identify bottlenecks.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly engage with online communities for HR analytics, data science, or specific tools (e.g., Tableau Public, Stack Overflow for SQL/Python).
  • Attend webinars or virtual conferences on workforce planning trends and new analytical methodologies.
  • Take online courses (e.g., on Coursera, Udemy, DataCamp) to deepen your skills in Python, advanced SQL, or statistical modelling.
  • Participate in internal 'Lunch & Learn' sessions or knowledge-sharing forums within our People Analytics team.
  • Read industry publications and thought leadership pieces on the future of work and talent strategy.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of workforce planning involves repetitive tasks and sifting through mountains of data. What if you could offload some of that grunt work to AI? We're building an internal AI Productivity Hub to help you do just that, giving you back precious time to focus on the truly strategic stuff – the thinking, the storytelling, the actual impact.

As a Global Workforce Planning Analyst, you'll find AI isn't here to replace you, but to make you ridiculously efficient. Imagine spending less time cleaning data or drafting reports, and more time uncovering deep insights or building robust scenario models. Our AI Hub provides tools and guidance to help you automate the mundane, so you can elevate your role and truly shine.

Automated Data Reconciliation

Use AI scripts (think Python with pandas) to automatically pull, merge, and validate headcount data from Workday, our financial planning system (Anaplan), and the ATS (Greenhouse). The script flags discrepancies for *your* review, saving you hours of manual cross-checking. No more 'did I miss anything?' anxiety.

Predictive Attrition Insights

While full-blown ML models are for more senior folk, you can use simpler AI-powered tools to quickly identify key factors driving turnover in your assigned business unit. This means you can spot 'flight risk' indicators faster and give HRBPs a heads-up, enabling proactive retention efforts before it's too late.

Quick Talent Market Scans

Need to understand the talent pool for a new role in a specific city? Use AI-powered market intelligence platforms to quickly scrape and summarise data on talent availability, compensation benchmarks, and competitor hiring. This replaces hours, if not days, of manual research on LinkedIn and various salary sites. Get the gist in minutes, not days.

First-Draft Report Generation

Feed your key data tables and charts from the monthly workforce report into a generative AI model (like Claude or GPT-4) with a specific prompt. It'll churn out a first draft of your executive summary, highlighting key trends, risks, and insights. You then polish it, add your expert nuance, and save a couple of hours every month.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Global Workforce Planning Analyst, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 8 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Global Workforce Planning Analyst: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
