Workforce Management Analyst

About this role

As Faire’s global footprint grows dramatically, we’re looking for a dynamic Workforce Manager (WFM), to bring their industry expertise to plan, build, and scale a dedicated workforce management function. Our CX and operations teams use a combination of Vendor Partners and Faire employees to ensure that the Brands that supply products to our platform and the Retailers that purchase them are each supported and cared for in a way that both are successful. For WFM, this means making sure that the right people are in place at the right time, doing the work they’re best equipped to do.

The right candidate will scale WFM across all of Faire’s operations teams.

The results of your efforts will bring together our global teams into one unified network, delivering the highest quality support, at the right times, at the lowest possible cost.

To achieve this, the Workforce Manager will work closely with our Operations leaders, and vendor partners. Fundamental to their success will be their expertise in gathering, using, and delivering data which will drive the WFM OS. This role will require a clear vision and understanding of what a world-class WFM team looks like and will be engaged to build it from Day 1.
