- Partner with engineering/technology leads to convert functional designs into configuration and build plans (configuration, custom extensions, reporting, automation, integrations).
- Own functional delivery, including configuring and customizing vendor applications to meet business needs.
- Drive end-to-end lifecycle execution for enhancements, defects, and releases; ensure documentation and artifacts are maintained in standard tracking tools and processes.
- Define reporting and analytics needs across forecasting accuracy, staffing vs. plan, schedule adherence/coverage, and operational outcomes; partner on dashboards and operational reporting.
- Serve as the functional point leader across HR, operations, and technology teams, driving alignment, decisions, and adoption.
- Support training strategy and enablement materials for business users (planners, schedulers, managers), ensuring new processes and tools are understood and adopted.
- Responsible for adherence to industry best practice, actively engaging with WFM Community on latest advancement.
- Encourages product innovation and alternative ways of approaching business.
- Responsible for timely delivery of enhancements, project requests and defects, with optimal and scalable solutions.
