What You'll Do:

We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and effective Senior Manager of WMC Business Operations to be a key contributor within its Internal Consulting & Special Projects team. This team focuses on leading strategic initiatives to solve business challenges, ranging from operational to people-based workstreams, to help shape our growth strategy in the immediate future.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with various departments, including Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Product, to drive alignment, streamline workflows, and support the achievement of company objectives.
