• Lead services resource management: Run the operating cadence for staffing, capacity planning, utilization visibility, and backlog alignment across implementation and ongoing services work; connect pipeline, bookings, project demand, skill requirements, and delivery capacity to recommend assignments, identify coverage gaps, and inform subcontractor needs before they impact customer outcomes.
• Coordinate partner and subcontractor delivery operations: Run the operating process for partner-subcontracted delivery, from intake and assignment through onboarding, execution tracking, issue resolution, and process improvement.
• Streamline partner program intake: Manage partner program submissions and operational requests with clear SLAs, clean handoffs, and consistent follow-through so onboarding and engagement readiness move without friction.
• Build operational reporting and delivery insights: Develop recurring dashboards, scorecards, and exception reports that give Services leadership actionable visibility into delivery health, utilization, forecast accuracy, partner performance, and process bottlenecks.
