• Service-level outcomes and operational KPIs
• Org-level results and trends, with clear insights and recommendations
• Develop and maintain reporting that connects WFM inputs to business outcomes (SLA attainment, productivity, cost, customer experience)
• Analyze and communicate key metrics: service level, ASA, occupancy, adherence, shrinkage, and utilization
• Translate complex datasets into concise, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences related to overall organizational performance including BOT insights.
• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Training, and Leadership to align workforce plans with business priorities
• Continuously improve forecasting models, reporting accuracy, and WFM processes using industry best practices

• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, complex formulas, data visualization)
• Solid understanding of forecasting methodologies, statistical concepts, and workforce optimization (Erlang C, SLAs, occupancy)
• Ability to connect workforce data to broader organizational performance and business outcomes
• Clear, concise communicator with strong storytelling skills using data
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-changing environments

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Analytics, Statistics, Operations Management, or related field
