What the job involves
- Factor, a brand of HelloFresh is seeking a Labor Planning Analyst. The Labor Planning team plays a central role in maintaining capacity for Operations and delivering for our customers in a high-growth environment
- Our team is responsible for generating the hiring plans for all U.S. distribution centers. We are looking for leaders with strong analytical and technical skills who can partner effectively with leaders across functions to drive planning accuracy
- Work alongside other members of the Planning team to validate labor plans and improve overall accuracy
- Support all labor management functions by driving enhancements in headcount planning, attrition curves, scheduling, and cohort balancing based on data
- Track progress to and deviations from the plan, assist with problem-solving and root cause analysis
- Serve as a technical liaison between Planning and Data/Engineering teams to translate business requirements, resolve escalations and contribute to the continuous improvement of tools and processes
- Own short-term labor planning to ensure operational sites are set up for success with staffing needs, optimizing for cost and experience
Our take
The food space has seen significant disruption in the last few years, whether it's the rapid expansion of takeaway delivery, online groceries or meal boxes. Consumer tastes are changing and there has been lots of innovation to try and get quality food in front of people more easily. HelloFresh is one of the drivers of that trend.
On the back of a boom in subscriptions during the pandemic, HelloFresh secured its place in the new food market. However, the cost-of-living crisis has meant that the company and its peers have faced dwindling subscriptions, resulting in layoffs and a need to refocus towards a more sustainable future for the business.
That said, HelloFresh still benefits from being a leader in the sector and from its B Corporation status - properties that mean it remains a top option for consumers who want to try meal kits. Only time will tell if the company can sustain its success moving forwards, at a time when its product, however enticing, is becoming less affordable for the general public.
