About the team and position
As a Workforce Management (WFM) Scheduling Analyst, you are the architect of our team’s time. You will ensure that we have the right people, in the right place, at the right time to deliver a seamless experience for our customers. You will partner closely with operational leaders to manage complex scheduling workflows, optimize coverage across multiple business units, and support the career growth of our Advocates through promotional and new-hire scheduling.

What you’ll be doing

• Operational Scheduling: Manage the end-to-end scheduling lifecycle for multiple lines of business, including processing shift adjustments, coordinating project time, and ensuring schedules align with forecasted requirements for both phone and digital channels.
• Strategic Planning: Lead high-impact scheduling initiatives, including bi-annual shift bids and comprehensive holiday staffing plans to ensure service level objectives are met year-round.
• Advocate Lifecycle Support: Act as the WFM point of contact for new hire classes and promotions. You’ll manage the transition of schedules for incoming talent and coordinate schedule updates for internal moves and upskilling.
• Optimization & Analysis: Conduct regular "schedule health" audits to identify coverage gaps caused by attrition or transfers. You will optimize intra-day activities (breaks, lunches, and off-phone time) to maintain peak operational efficiency.

What you should have

• WFM Technical Expertise: 2+ years of experience in Workforce Management, with specific proficiency in scheduling software (experience with Aspect is a major plus; NICE/IEX, Genesys, or Assembled are also highly valued).
• Data Accuracy: A high degree of precision when managing complex data sets and "Master Templates" where small errors can have a large impact on customer wait times.
• Problem Solving: The ability to look at a coverage gap and determine whether to solve it through shift moves, overtime offerings, or voluntary time off.
• Communication: Comfort presenting to new hire classes and partnering with senior operational leaders to explain the "why" behind scheduling decisions.
• Software Proficiency: Strong skills in Google Suite (Sheets/Docs) and an ability to quickly learn internal project management tools like JIRA.

What we’ll offer in return

• Full-Time Salary Position with a competitive salary
• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits
• 401K with company match
• A multitude of perks including student loan payments, discounts on vehicles, benefits for your pets, and much more
