[Hiring] Workforce Analyst @Luno

Role Description

In Luno’s customer-focused environment, the Workforce Analyst plays a key role in driving operational excellence through data, insights, and planning. You will create, maintain, and continuously improve schedules and forecasts to enable the achievement of service-level goals while ensuring the best possible experience for both customers and our Customer Success teams.

You’ll use your analytical expertise and scenario-based thinking to help Luno stay ahead of changing customer behaviors and global crypto trends. This means not only reacting to volume changes but anticipating them—collaborating closely with Customer Success leadership and global WFM peers to ensure our plans are flexible, data-informed, and future-ready.

You’re an analytical problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and can translate data into clear operational decisions. You bring strong communication skills, curiosity, and a continuous improvement mindset that helps shape how we work today and how we plan for tomorrow.

Your mission will involve:

• Serving as a subject-matter expert on workforce optimisation and capacity planning.
• Ensuring service level targets are consistently achieved through accurate forecasting, scheduling, and proactive planning.
• Building and maintaining forecasting models that account for historical data, customer trends, seasonality, and external market factors (including crypto market activity).
• Developing scenario-based plans to anticipate potential surges, downtime, or unexpected events, ensuring we are operationally prepared for varying demand scenarios.
• Maintaining, testing, and improving our scheduling software and workforce tools.
• Conducting data analysis to identify opportunities for improved coverage, productivity, and cost efficiency.
• Collaborating with Customer Success leadership and Team Leads to review scheduling effectiveness and adjust approaches based on feedback, performance trends, and evolving customer needs.
• Reporting on key workforce metrics such as Service Level, Forecast Accuracy, AHT, Shrinkage, Coverage, and CPH, and providing insights and recommendations.
• Continuously reviewing and refining WFM processes to enhance flexibility and responsiveness to market and business changes.
• Monitoring intraday performance, identifying real-time risks or opportunities, and making actionable recommendations.
• Maintaining and approving time-off requests, tracking attendance, and managing non-productive time to ensure optimal staffing balance.

In your first six months, you will:

• Build strong partnerships with the Customer Success and WFM teams across regions to understand operational needs and planning nuances.
• Support the implementation of an enhanced WFM framework, evaluating tools and processes for greater accuracy and agility.
• Lead scenario-based forecasting reviews, linking crypto market activity and customer engagement trends to potential demand impacts.
• Create data visualisations and dashboards that help stakeholders quickly understand performance trends and planning outcomes.
• Contribute to continuous improvement projects focused on schedule optimization, forecasting precision, and global capacity alignment.

Qualifications

• 2+ years Workforce Management experience, preferably in a multi-region or high-growth environment.
• Strong analytical background with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights and recommendations.
• Experience using forecasting and scheduling tools, as well as proficiency in Google Sheets, Excel, or BI tools (e.g. Looker).
• Demonstrated ability to plan for different operational scenarios and model the impact of business or market changes.
• Collaborative mindset — comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels to align plans and drive improvements.
• Detail-oriented and proactive with excellent problem-solving, time management, and communication skills.
• Adaptable to change, resilient under pressure, and passionate about improving processes and finding smarter ways of working.

Benefits

• Forward-thinking and ambitious team that values diversity, hard work, and the continuous quest for excellence.
• Remote but reachable work policy gives you the freedom to choose between working from home or the office.
• Improve body and mind, with excellent private medical insurance.
