The Workforce Scheduling Analyst is an important contributor to the success of the operation owing largely to the intense focus on real time, reporting and schedule management for our agents to meet and exceed adherence goals.  The Workforce Management Scheduling Analyst is responsible for tactical planning and schedule adjustments, intra-day management, and historical trend analysis to ensure the call center achieves service levels and key performance indicators on a daily and interval basis. Key responsibilities include operational, procedural, and data analysis to achieve service level objectives, improve efficiencies, and deliver a world-class service while controlling expenses. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to scheduling, daily staffing requirements, forecasting procedures, service level, outliers, handle times, shrinkage, occupancy, and other call center metrics. Daily and ad-hoc report generation, intra-departmental communication and relationship building are key aspects of this role.

This multi-skilled, high volume, dynamic environment requires the Workforce Management Scheduling Analyst to utilize the call center tools in the Interactive Intelligence suite, IEX/Verint, and MS Office to ensure standards established by our clients and internal operating standards are achieved. The successful candidate must have 2 years of WFM experience in a call center with 100+ agents, a solid understanding of ACD call flow technology, and readily adapt to new WFM tools.  This role will act as a bridge that will connect WFM, Operations and various Technical teams to develop data driven recommendations to help guide our network to peak performance.
