@davidraab
I am a workforce analyst specializing in capacity planning and forecasting.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-starting workforce analyst with extensive experience in data analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and creating detailed financial reports.
At Zillow Group I lead regular capacity outlook meetings, develop high-caliber presentations for senior leadership, and build capacity planning models to forecast staffing and hiring needs. I create volume and handle time forecasts that regularly meet daily and monthly accuracy goals.
Previously, I analyzed call arrival and handle time patterns at Citibank and led transitions between WFM platforms, serving as the subject matter expert on NICE. As a Compensation Analyst at Adecco and Financial Representative at Fidelity, I produced commission and payroll reporting, communicated financial details to payroll and accounting, and researched market salary trends.
I am precise, thorough, and deliver excellent results, communicating clearly with business leaders to drive scheduling and performance improvements. I seek opportunities to improve forecasting accuracy and influence staffing strategy in a metrics-driven environment.
