• The ownership of the User Interface that offers the output of the Activity Model to the business users.
• Defining and maintaining the product roadmap in alignment with the process managers/experts and business stakeholders. You collaborate cross-functionally, e.g., with Technology, process managers/experts, the operation, and external consultants to deliver the items of the roadmap.
• Provide comprehensive training and support to the business users to enhance data-driven decision-making, ensuring all teams are well equipped. Stay updated on industry trends, tools, and methodologies in the field of labor modeling and warehouse efficiency.
