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.

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.

• 2–4 Years WFM/Ops Experience: Proven track record in high-volume, scaled environments (Contact Centers or Shared Services).

• Financial Services Knowledge: Specific understanding of KYC, FinCrime, or regulated operational environments.

• The "Translator" Ability: Capable of turning complex WFM jargon (Erlang, Shrinkage, Occupancy) into clear, actionable business advice.

• Strategic Assertiveness: The backbone to constructively challenge senior leaders and say "no" when decisions undermine WFM plans

• Analytical Reasoning: Ability to interpret data trends and identify leading vs. lagging indicators rather than just reading metrics.

• Stakeholder Management: Experience acting as a partner rather than just a reporting function; comfortable operating with Heads of Departments.

• Forward-Looking Mindset: A bias toward proactive risk identification and prevention rather than reactive firefighting.

• Change Management: Experience driving the adoption of new playbooks or frameworks across different operational units.

• Strong stakeholder management.

• Welcome challenges with a positive attitude.

• Easily adapt to changes.

• Extremely guided towards teamwork/collaboration.

• Flexible to work weekends/Public Holidays

• Schedule optimization experience / knowledge on how is it done
