This role is essential for transforming our rich scheduling data into actionable insights, helping teams make better decisions without adding complexity. As the competition in resource planning evolves, this role will be pivotal in ensuring Float stays ahead with AI-enhanced yet intuitive insights that set us apart from both legacy ERPs and new AI-driven entrants.
