  • Maintain and update WFM software accurately with schedule changes and real-time adjustments.
• Technical Leadership
  • Act as a senior point of reference for the Workforce Specialists, sharing knowledge and best practice.
  • Set the standard for real-time execution, quality, and consistency across the function.
  • Deputise for the Workforce Manager when they are unavailable.
