• Manage strategic initiatives across the Workforce & Vendor Management organization.
• Oversee development and implementation of playbooks/SOPs to improve and standardize BPO operations.
• Partner closely with CX Vendor Managers and Operations to drive service delivery improvements.
• Partner with Sourcing and CX Vendor Managers to drive contractual standardization, ensuring that CX vendor contracts evolve with business requirements.

• A minimum of 5 years of experience in operations, workforce/vendor management, or program management
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
