• Act as a technical subject matter expert for automation capabilities and advocate for new features or functionalities that support our automation roadmap.

Training & Support

• Provide training and support to WFM team members and other users on new automated tools and processes.
• Troubleshoot issues related to automation solutions and provide timely resolutions.
