Labor Demand Expert

WHAT YOU WILL DO

As a Labor Demand Expert, you own the logic that translates store demand signals into labour hours. You build and continuously improve the global labour demand model, ensuring labour allocation is data-driven, fair and aligned with both commercial and operational realities across store types and markets.

You will:

• Own and develop the end-to-end labour demand model, translating demand signals into task frequencies and labour hours
• Ensure the model reflects real store activity patterns and evolves with changes in customer behaviour, omnichannel flows and operating models
• Define, document and maintain assumptions, scaling rules and calculation logic in a clear and structured way
• Build logic for daily, weekly and seasonal variation, including store-type and size scaling factors
• Support scenario modelling to assess labour impacts of new store formats, omnichannel initiatives and process changes
• Act as a subject matter expert on labour demand logic, providing guidance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

You will work closely with Controlling, Operations Development, Tech and Workforce Management teams, as well as global teams and Sales Markets. In this role, you partner cross-functionally to ensure labour demand logic is well understood, consistently applied and fit for scale.

WHO YOU ARE

You are an analytical and structured problem-solver who is comfortable working with complex models and translating them into clear, practical insights.

We are looking for people with:

• Experience in retail forecasting, workforce management, labour planning or commercial analytics
• Strong analytical and modelling skills, with the ability to work with complex data sets
• Experience translating complex models and assumptions into clear, practical guidance
• A solid understanding of retail operational drivers such as traffic, deliveries, transactions and omnichannel flows
• Strong documentation skills and a high attention to detail
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken
