Real Time Analyst (Pioneer Account/Company)

The Real-Time Analyst (RTA) serves as the operational command center for the Customer Experience team, responsible for real-time performance monitoring, workforce optimization, and service level management across both internal and vendor-supported operations. This role extends beyond monitoring by driving real-time decision-making, intraday workforce optimization, performance risk mitigation, and cross-functional coordination to ensure alignment between staffing, customer demand, and service level objectives.

As the organization continues to strengthen its Workforce Management (WFM) capabilities, the RTA will play a key role in supporting WFM processes, maintaining system discipline, improving reporting accuracy, and collaborating with stakeholders to support current and future workforce planning initiatives, including Genesys-based workforce management processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor real-time performance across all Customer Experience queues, including internal and vendor-supported operations, and identify service level risks by tracking metrics such as SLA, ASA, abandonment rate, occupancy, and agent adherence.
• Execute approved real-time workforce management actions, including schedule adjustments, skill reassignments, break and lunch optimization, and overtime (OT) or voluntary time off (VTO) decisions within established governance guidelines.
• Maintain accurate decision logs, follow structured escalation procedures, and document actions, risks, and outcomes to ensure operational transparency and leadership visibility.
• Perform intraday forecasting adjustments, update staffing requirements within the Workforce Management (WFM) platform, and analyze variances in call volume, Average Handle Time (AHT), and staffing to improve forecast accuracy.
• Monitor shrinkage and adherence by identifying behavioral, scheduling, or operational trends, recommending corrective actions to improve workforce efficiency and reduce performance gaps.
• Lead real-time operational responses during volume spikes, staffing shortages, system outages, or other service disruptions by coordinating with Operations, IT, Workforce Management, and vendor partners. Conduct post-incident reviews to identify root causes and recommend preventive actions.
• Ensure Workforce Management system integrity by validating schedules, staffing data, real-time metrics, dashboards, and reporting accuracy across all systems.
• Balance customer service objectives with operational efficiency by managing staffing decisions that optimize both service levels and labor costs across internal and vendor-supported teams.
• Prepare and deliver intraday, daily, and weekly performance reports highlighting key metrics, emerging risks, actions taken, operational trends, and recommendations for continuous improvement.
