Why This Role Matters

• Volume Management: Review interval‑level volume trends, site‑wide shrinkage, and non‑productive time (NPT) to forecast staffing needs and recommend peak‑readiness plans.
• Operational Alignment: Ensure each skill group adheres to shift‑break schedules, call‑handling expectations (missed calls, disconnects, max‑call adherence), and productivity targets.
• Cross‑Functional Liaison: Partner with network points of contact (WFM, Operations, Forecasting, and Economics) to close gaps, resolve bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement.
• Planning Execution: Oversee the timely completion of training QA requests, holiday scheduling, shift rollovers, and Business Continuity Planning (BCP) activities.
• Ticket Management: Resolve all WFM‑related SIMs/tickets within agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs), documenting root causes and preventive actions.
• Capacity Alignment: Align schedule capacity with forecasted volume, proactively adjusting staffing or overtime to mitigate short‑term deficits.
• Mentorship & Development: Coach junior RTAs, sharing best practices, analytical techniques, and operational knowledge to build a resilient talent pipeline.
• Insight Generation: Conduct deep‑dive analyses on metric misses, produce factual call‑outs, and develop clear Path‑to‑Green (PTG) recommendations for leadership.
• Process Innovation: Identify waste or non‑value‑adding steps in current workflows, propose simplifications, and champion implementation of streamlined processes.

• Proven track record of mentoring or leading junior analysts, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, remote setting while maintaining high levels of self‑discipline and accountability.

• Experience with predictive forecasting models and statistical analysis tools such as R or Python.
• Background in contact‑center technology integration projects (e.g., CRM, omnichannel platforms).
