Job Description:Business Mgmt Specialist, Workforce & PlanningLocation: Toronto, ON
The OpportunityThis role owns how third-party workforce is planned, governed, and executed across Business Banking, Wealth and TD Insurance (BWI), a large, complex and diverse technology organization.
You will operate at the center of business demand, delivery execution, and financial control - ensuring external workforce is deployed intentionally, not reactively. Much of this operating model is still evolving, and you will play a key role in building the processes, reporting, and controls required to manage it effectively at scale.
This is a hands-on role for someone who combines strong operational judgment with the ability to bring structure to ambiguity.
What You'll OwnThird-Party Workforce Strategy & Demand Control- End-to-end planning and governance of third-party workforce across BWI
- Translate business demand into structured, controlled workforce plans
- Partner closely with impacted stakeholders to validate demand, challenge assumptions, and ensure alignment to priorities
- Establish and enforce demand controls to ensure workforce requests are justified, prioritized, and aligned to financial guardrails and strategic initiatives
- Identify capacity gaps, over-allocation, and execution risks early and take action to address them
Financial Oversight & Workforce Investment- Support the management of forecasting, tracking, and control of third-party workforce spend
- Ensure workforce decisions are grounded in cost transparency and financial discipline
- Monitor variances and proactively address risks to budget and targets for third-party workforce
Governance, Accountability & Risk Management- Stand up and drive consistent processes for demand intake, approval, and execution
- Ensure adherence to governance standards across workforce planning and vendor engagement
- Own exceptions, escalations, and decision points related to workforce and delivery risk
- Hold stakeholders accountable to defined processes, thresholds, and controls
Performance Management (Vendors & Workforce Outcomes)- Define and track performance measures for third-party workforce (e.g., productivity, utilization, delivery outcomes)
- Partner closely with impacted stakeholders to assess workforce effectiveness, not just fulfillment
- Drive performance conversations with vendors and internal stakeholders, including issue escalation and remediation
- Ensure workforce performance data informs future demand and sourcing decisions
Reporting, Data & Operational Insight- Build reporting that enables decision-making across demand, spend, and performance
- Use tools like Excel and Power BI to structure complex workforce and financial data
- Develop lightweight solutions (e.g., Power Apps) to improve data capture and workflow efficiency where needed
- Improve data quality and reduce manual effort through automation and simplification
What You Bring- Experience managing or supporting third-party workforce, vendor models, or resource planning in a complex environment
- Strong financial acumen (forecasting, budgeting, variance management) tied to workforce decisions
- Proven ability to challenge demand, influence leaders, and drive disciplined decision-making
- Advanced Excel skills and experience building practical, decision-focused reporting (Power BI or similar)
- Experience using tools like Power Apps to improve workflows (pragmatic, not over-engineered)
- High attention to detail with strong operational judgment
- Comfort working in ambiguity and building structure from the ground up
What Success Looks Like- Third-party workforce demand is controlled, justified, and aligned to business priorities
- Third-party workforce spend is predictable, transparent, and actively managed
- Performance of external resources is measured, understood, and continuously improved
- Leaders have clear visibility to make informed workforce and investment decisions quickly
- Processes reduce reactive hiring and increase planned, strategic deployment of resources
Why This Role MattersWithout strong ownership of third-party workforce, organizations overhire, overspend, and underperform.
This role brings control, visibility, and accountability - ensuring external workforce investment delivers measurable business outcomes.
