Description
Role Summary
Scale's Operations Planning Team sits at the intersection of Engagement Management, GenAI Delivery, GTM, and Growth Ops. As a Technical Program Manager on Planning, you will own program-level planning and systems workstreams that translate demand into reliable production plans, validate staffing, and ensure opportunities move through ingest accurately.
Responsibilities
Demand Forecasting
- Capture customer demand accurately, consistently, and at the right level of granularity.
- Monitor and execute Production Plan and Opportunity Forecast, acting quickly on demand changes.
- Partner with Supply Ops to review the Production Plan weekly and drive forecasting accuracy and adjustments.
- Surface forecast risks and coordinate tactical interventions through the Ops Planning leads.
Staffing & Resource Planning
- Create and validate staffing requests, communicating staffing changes to Delivery teams, STOs, and EMs.
- Monitor account-level FTE budgets and employee spend, contributing to cost/benefit analysis of staffing vs. revenue.
- Stress-test staffing scenarios to provide early warnings on headcount risks and inform hiring/reallocation decisions.
- Validate staffing tracking accuracy weekly, identifying and correcting discrepancies in project-level staffing data.
Opportunity Forecast & Ingest
- Ensure all revenue-generating opportunities are correctly logged in Opportunity Ingest (Linear) and that scoping is consistent.
- Act as the owner for opportunities as they move through the ingest workflow, expediting translation of demand signals into the forecast (Airtable/PP/OF).
- Run weekly checks to confirm Opportunity Forecast accuracy, coordinating tactical scoping fixes when needed.
Account Intelligence & Systems Enablement
- Participate in core account meetings (ops, finance, GTM, delivery) as the Ops demand operational lead.
- Design, build, and maintain scalable planning tools and account-level reporting artifacts (ramp planning sheets, account dashboards, account playbooks).
- Standardize and centralize information flow across customer ops pillars (demand forecasting, staffing, opportunity ingest).
- Drive systems enablement, process documentation (SOPs), and handoffs that reduce manual work and increase reliability.
