The WFM Operations Partner Lead is the primary interface between Workforce Management and Operations, responsible for ensuring that WFM disciplines are consistently understood, adopted, and applied in operational decision-making.

Instead, it acts as a business partner and discipline guardian, translating WFM insights into clear operational trade-offs and constructively challenging decisions that undermine workforce plans. Your Mission * Your mission is to shift Operations from reactive, short-term workforce decisions toward planned, data-driven execution, ensuring intraday, scheduling, and capacity principles are applied consistently to protect service, cost, and scalability outcomes. * This role is not accountable for forecast accuracy, schedule creation, or intraday execution, which remain the responsibility of WFM execution teams. * In addition, the WFM Operations Partner serves as a mentor and capability multiplier for Intraday and Scheduling Specialists, supporting their professional development and decision quality through guidance, coaching, and feedback, while maintaining a dotted-line connection rather than direct people management accountability. ## Qualifications This r
