Manager, Workforce Management & Business Operations – Styling

About the Role

Our Styling team is at the heart of Stitch Fix’s business, leveraging creativity, data, and technology to craft personal style experiences at scale. As we transition to asynchronous client messaging, we’re seeking a dynamic Business Operations & Workforce Management Manager to design models, processes, and tools that make this new way of working seamless, efficient, and delightful for both clients and Stylists. This role requires a blend of coordination, continuous improvement, analytical, and technical expertise to deliver impactful, scalable enhancements.

This is a highly visible role at the intersection of operations, finance, and data. You’ll own the budgeting process, capacity and workforce planning, drive operational strategy, and lead improvements that empower our team of 1,000+ remote stylists. Reporting to the Director of Styling Enablement & Planning, you’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Styling, Data Science, Product, and Tech, and your insights will shape the future of personalized shopping at Stitch Fix.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Develop and own workforce capacity models to match Stylist capacity to client demand, especially as we scale new synchronous and asynchronous communication channels.
• Proactively identify and resolve roadblocks to productivity based on capacity planning.
• Integrate operational plans into company-wide financial cycles, ensuring real-time visibility into Stylist capacity, productivity, and client experience.
• Lead high-impact projects, from optimizing work output to designing KPIs and performance measures that improve Stylist efficiency and client satisfaction.
• Partner with Finance and leadership to align workforce strategies with company goals, balancing quality, cost efficiency, and team well-being.
• Build actionable dashboards and analyses using SQL and BI tools (e.g. Looker, Metabase) to help Styling leaders make agile decisions.
• Mentor and grow a small team of analysts/specialists to drive operational excellence.
• Be a voice for the Styling team, representing their needs and advocating for solutions that enable Stylists to do their best work.

We’re excited about you because you…

• Bring 5–7+ years of experience in workforce management, capacity planning, or financial/operational strategy. Contact center or client-facing operations are a big plus.
• Have deep expertise with WFM tools (e.g., Playvox or similar) and advanced data skills in SQL and business intelligence tools.
• Are an exceptional communicator who can simplify complex concepts for senior audiences, making data-driven recommendations that they trust.
• Have led teams or cross-functional initiatives with proven results and know how to inspire and support others.
• Are a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, remote environment and is driven by delivering measurable impact.
• Believe in balancing people, process, and technology to create an exceptional client and Stylist experience.
