You sit at the center of CX’s operational foundation: You architect and set effective workforce management plans, process and systems, track performance, lead operating rhythms, and ensure leadership has the right visibility to drive decisions at the right time.

• Workforce management: Lead weekly and monthly WFM operations, working hands-on to build, manage and scale workforce management systems. Set staffing plans, partner with vendor operations and regional leads to drive alignment and adherence, and identify trends calling for leadership action.

• Budget management & predictability: Drive budget projections and precision, regularly evaluate variances vs. plan, and feed insights back into operational processes and decision-making to continuously improve them.

• Operating cadence & rhythm: Lead and improve core operating rhythms such as KPI reviews, forecast reviews, and forecast vs. actuals discussions, building predictable, high-quality decision-making cadences with clear preparation, interlocks, and rhythm.

• Cross-functional partnership: Collaborate closely with CX leadership and partners in Business Technology, Data, Finance, and Recruiting Operations to execute thoughtfully.

• Process development & scaling: Use insights to develop new processes and policies that help the CX org scale as the business evolves, partnering with CX and cross-functional teams to bring them to life.
