Operations Specialist

💼 About the Role

We’re hiring a highly organized and execution-focused Operations Specialist to manage live workforce operations inside a fast-moving scheduling and staffing environment.

• filling shifts,
• coordinating workers,
• resolving real-time operational issues,
• and ensuring clients receive seamless service execution.

You’ll manage the full shift lifecycle:
from onboarding professionals → scheduling coverage → monitoring attendance → resolving emergencies and last-minute changes.

If you thrive in:

• fast-paced environments,
• live operational coordination,
• staffing logistics,
• and high-ownership roles,

this opportunity is a strong fit.
