- Partner and ecosystem:
- Leverage alliances and referral partners; coordinate with implementation and customer success for seamless handoff.

- Monitor competitor landscape (e.g., UKG, Workday, Oracle, SAP, Ceridian/Dayforce, Infor), vertical requirements, and regulatory trends impacting labor compliance.

Preferred Qualifications
- Vertical experience in complex labor environments (retail, hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, public sector).
- History of displacing incumbent WFM providers or expanding within large installed bases.
