Supporting the integration of WFM with Time & Attendance systems and other external data sources will be a key aspect of your role.
You will also drive the architecture design for inbound and outbound data flows, ensuring data integrity and seamless communication between systems. Working within defined support processes and SLAs, you will prioritize and resolve issues within tight timeframes, minimizing downtime and maintaining operational excellence. Collaboration with warehouse management, IT teams, and external vendors will be essential to implement system enhancements and support continuous improvement initiatives.
