About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to become an integral part of Motorways Workforce Planning Team.

You will create and distribute agent schedules based on demand forecasts and operational targets, ensuring optimal resource allocation across all contact channels (Voice, Live Chat, Email, and Tickets).

Key components of this role include tracking real time and historical operational performance and adherence to plans, utilising tools such as Calabrio, Zendesk Contact Centre/Amazon Connect, and Google Sheets. You'll provide deep analysis and insights into KPI performance and productivity metrics to identify critical trends and highlight performance risks.

  • Actively track and monitor the real time performance of KPIs and adherence to plans.
  • Implement dynamic intraday adjustments to staffing and skill routing to mitigate performance risks.
  • Provide deep analysis and data driven insights into operational performance (i.e. utilisation, occupancy, productivity).
  • Proactively update and engage with operational stakeholders on current and future performance outlooks, translating complex WFM data into actionable business language.
  • Maintain, build, and enhance operational reports to support data driven decision making.

What You'll Bring (Required Skills and Experience)

  • Demonstrated success and hands on experience in end to end workforce planning and real time monitoring.
  • Strong working knowledge of WFM systems (e.g. Calabrio, Genesys, NICE or similar) and contact center omnichannel platforms.
  • Exceptional skill in using analytical tools (such as Google Sheets/Excel) to manipulate large data sets and translate complex data for stakeholders.
  • Excellent ability to manage multiple, conflicting priorities effectively, particularly urgent real time needs.
  • A proactive, self motivated approach to identifying operational gaps and implementing solutions independently.
  • Experience working in a fast paced omnichannel contact centre environment.
