WFM Operations Partner Lead

We’re looking for a Workforce Management Operations Partner Lead to join our Operational team in our Singapore 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.

This role does not execute tactical WFM activities such as intraday moves, schedule creation, or capacity modelling. 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.

The candidate will focus on these high-priority initiatives immediately upon joining:

• Stakeholder Transition: Moving Operations leaders away from "gut-feel" staffing decisions toward the Service Scale operating principles and WFM playbooks.

• Governance Framework: Auditing and surfacing recurring "exceptions" or manual overrides in scheduling to identify where WFM discipline is breaking down.

• Decision-Quality Coaching: Running "mentor clinics" for Intraday and Scheduling Specialists to help them think about long-term trade-offs rather than just short-term fixes.

• Scenario Steering: Facilitating structured "What-If" conversations with Ops leads regarding upcoming demand spikes or staffing constraints, ensuring they understand confidence ranges rather than just "point estimates."
