Job description

Job Overview

The Senior Associate, Capacity & Forecasting plays a vital role in helping 2X plan ahead with precision. As part of the Operations & Planning team, this role translates revenue forecasts, pipeline shifts, and delivery demands into structured hiring targets and deployment plans that drive business scalability.

Working closely with the team’s Forecasting Analyst, this role supports the day-to-day maintenance of forecasting models and helps drive alignment between resource demand, hiring targets, and operational timing. Together, they ensure that short-term shifts and long-term growth are captured in a clear, actionable planning rhythm.

Sitting at the intersection of strategic planning and operational execution, this role helps ensure that we always have the right people, at the right time, in the right roles. It involves working with dynamic inputs—from Solution Sheets and Churn projections to active deployments and capacity models—while balancing long-range forecasting with real-time responsiveness.

Success in this role requires strong analytical instincts, planning rigor, and comfort working with messy inputs to create structured, decision-ready outputs. From maintaining headcount planning models to guiding target-setting conversations with HR and Practice Leaders, this Senior Associate plays a critical role in helping 2X scale sustainably while staying ahead of delivery demand.

Job Responsibilities

Forecast Maintenance & Demand Tracking

  • Maintain and update long-range headcount forecasts across MRR, Project, and Churn streams, ensuring monthly and quarterly accuracy.
  • Work closely with the Forecasting Analyst to apply modeling logic that reflects geography-specific hiring lead times, practice-level nuances, and deal ramp-up assumptions.
  • Track and tag demand inputs from Solution Sheets, signed scopes, and high-probability pipeline deals—breaking them down by role, skills, region, and deployment month.
  • Continuously monitor deal status and flag material shifts (e.g., delayed starts, revised FTEs) to adjust forecasts in near-real time.

Hiring Target Structuring & Alignment

  • Translate demand forecasts into monthly Offer Sign hiring targets segmented by skill, role, practice, and delivery region.
  • Identify gaps between forecasted demand and current / planned capacity and elevate priority hires based on timing risk.
  • Partner with the Reporting and Resourcing teams to align hiring targets with live dashboards, inventory visibility, and downstream deployment needs.
  • Ensure targets are responsive to updated assumptions and reflect both delivery constraints and scaling goals.
  • Operational Planning & Forecast Responsiveness

  • Support monthly and quarterly planning cycles with clear summaries of FTE needs, hiring deltas, and regional capacity shifts.
  • Adjust forecasts to reflect unexpected events like urgent ramp-ups, churn roll-offs, or resource swaps—ensuring near-term accuracy while protecting long-range plans.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of real-world constraints (e.g., onboarding cycles, role‑specific ramp times) to inform operational planning.
  • Track model versions and logic changes to ensure transparency and alignment across planning stakeholders.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Strategic Inputs

  • Collaborate with HR, Finance, Practice Leads, and other Planning team members to ensure assumptions and outputs remain synchronized across functions.
  • Contribute to hiring and capacity deep dives, monthly leadership syncs, and quarterly resourcing reviews with clean, structured data.
  • Refine planning tools, templates, and documentation to improve accuracy, usability, and institutional knowledge.
  • Partner with the Forecasting Analyst to build scalable, repeatable forecasting processes that support 2X’s growth trajectory.
  • Job Qualifications

  • 1–2 years of experience in operations, planning, financial modeling, or capacity forecasting—ideally within a fast‑paced, service‑driven environment.
  • Strong spreadsheet proficiency (Google Sheets or Excel), including advanced formulas, pivot tables, and data validation; familiarity with basic modeling logic is a must.
  • Experience working with dynamic, cross‑functional data inputs (e.g., revenue forecasts, hiring pipelines, resourcing plans).
  • High attention to detail with strong documentation discipline, comfortable building models that others can understand and maintain.
  • Proven ability to synthesize unstructured inputs into clear, structured planning outputs.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially when aligning with HR, Finance, and Practice leaders.
  • Ability to manage version control, track assumption changes, and stay organized amidst moving deadlines and shifting targets.
  • A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset with a bias toward structure, clarity, and long‑term scalability.
