- Produce daily, weekly, and monthly KPI reporting (service level, occupancy, shrinkage, cost per call) and deliver intraday updates on volume, adherence, absenteeism, and arrival patterns.
- Conduct root cause analysis for forecast variances and performance deviations, documenting incidents, outages, and intraday actions for continuous improvement.
- Present actionable insights and recommendations to leadership to improve operational efficiency and customer experience.
- Serve as the central communication point for intraday updates, staffing risks, system issues, queue performance and volume anomalies.
- Partner with Operations, HR, Quality, Training, IT and WFM teams to resolve issues impacting service levels and customer experience.
- Communicate staffing changes and performance updates effectively.
- Participate in operational reviews and strategic planning meetings.
- Administer and utilize WFM/ACD platforms (e.g., Five9, NICE, Genesys, Calabrio) for forecasting, scheduling, adherence monitoring, routing, skilling, and intraday adjustments.
