Part of the Customer Excellence & Field Solutions (CE&FS) organization, the Business Resource Excellence team empowers Canadian businesses to thrive in a digital world. CE&FS links customers nationwide to the TELUS network, coordinating installations, repairs, and vendor partnerships so that skilled technicians can resolve issues quickly and confidently.
The Strategic Planning focus under CE&FS guides Field, Dispatch, Planning, and Partner operations. We pair rigorous financial oversight with our workforce planning, using advanced analytics, precise forecasting, and collaborative budgeting to turn our most valuable asset—time—into exceptional customer experiences. Relentless improvement and innovation drive everything we do; we never settle for the status quo.
Reporting to the Director - Business Strategy Development, you will drive profitable growth by shaping the Field Strategic Capacity plan end-to-end. You will design and run forward-looking supply-and-demand models that translate product road-maps and RGU targets into the exact workforce mix required - optimizing labour spend and directly safeguarding EBITDA with a focus on an 18 month rolling plan.
Working hand-in-hand with Finance, you will convert these models into budgets that align with our long-term strategic plan, then track variances to uncover margin-expansion opportunities. Partnering with Product, Sales and Marketing, you’ll embed workforce needs early in go-to-market cycles so every new offering scales fast and cost-effectively. By leading cross-functional workforce reviews, you will keep the entire field organization focused on one goal: accelerating product growth while maximizing EBITDA and long-term strategic value.
