• Own BPO relationships and outsourcing strategy, ensuring measurable value across cost, quality, productivity, experience, and compliance.
• Partner with Procurement on provider selection, contract strategy, renewals, and ongoing vendor governance.
• Drive productivity, efficiency, profitability, and YoY cost-per-revenue-dollar reductions through continuous improvement across workforce and service delivery operations.
• Increase transparency in workforce-driven costs and collaborate with internal partners to prioritize impact and deliver scalable, business-aligned solutions.
