We’re looking for a Workforce Management Operations Partner Lead to join our Operational team in our Hyderabad office! 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 * 2–4
