Job Description:

• We’re building the future of autonomous transportation, and effective workforce systems help our operational teams deliver reliable service.
• As a contract Data Analyst on the Workforce Management team within Operations, you will bring hands-on UKG Pro Workforce Management Advanced Scheduling expertise to assess and improve our existing scheduling configuration.
• You will work with WFM teammates, including schedulers, and technical partners to understand scheduling needs, review how UKG is currently configured, and identify opportunities to improve it.

Evaluate appropriate scheduling methods and settings, which may include patterns, shift assignments, templates, rules, or schedule-generation parameters.
