  • A drive for communication and partnership to ensure goals are met, able to confidently give directions while keeping several plates spinning at the same time
  • An outstanding record of meeting and exceeding targets
  • Tested ability to navigate ambiguity and complexity, in tandem with the flexibility to respond quickly to changes in day-to-day operations
  • Grace and patience under fire; able to present in front of large groups, navigate through ambiguity; and demonstrate composure in stressful situations

What makes you stand out

  • Experience in short-term capacity planning and scheduling within Workforce Management
  • Specific experience in Customer Service operations
  • Experience in deep-diving into operations management, root cause analysis, strategic planning, and project management
  • Basic SQL skills
