[Hiring] Workforce Management - Real Time Analyst @Clipboard

Role Description

We are seeking a WFM Central - Real Time Analyst to serve as the central governance layer for live operations across multiple Lines of Business (LoB). This is not a traditional monitoring role; it is designed for a high-caliber, forensic operator who functions as an operational architect. You will be a trusted partner to operational leadership, responsible for continuing to evolve our operations to a standardized, and fiscally sound control model.

The ideal candidate possesses the technical "know-how" of a forensic analyst and the communication prowess of a business consultant, capable of telling a compelling story through data to stakeholders ranging from Team Leads to Directors. You won't just report that a queue is at risk; you will diagnose the business impact, identify the root cause, and prescribe the specific levers leadership must pull to preserve SLA and the customer experience. You will be the owner of all aspects of the support queues and ensure we are meeting our customers where they need us.

Responsibilities

• Stakeholder Storytelling: Distill complex, "noisy" operational signals into high-impact narratives. Share in-depth observations and supporting data that tell a clear story to stakeholders, at all levels of leadership, on exactly what actions must be taken.
• Business-Level Analysis: Analyze long-term business trends. Evaluate the financial efficiency of SLA safeguarding and the fiscal impact of current staffing vs. demand density.
• Operational Control & Forensic Auditing: Serve as the authoritative "voice of reason" during incidents. Conduct forensic audits of agent behaviors such as "On Hold" abuse or status irregularities to ensure hidden capacity drains are eliminated.
• Centralized Core Governance: Enact queue management playbooks for real-time levers across multiple LoBs, ensuring aggressive SLAs are preserved through structured accountability.
• Strategic Planning & Optimization: Partner with WFM to create a concise feedback loop for continued improvement in planning and scheduling.

Qualifications

• Exceptional Communication: Proven ability to translate complex data into a clear jargon-free business story. Comfortable presenting actionable insights to senior leadership under high-pressure conditions.
• Advanced Forensic Analysis: Expert proficiency in Google Sheets is required, familiarity with Metabase preferred. Ability to build complex, automated tracking tools and forensic audits from scratch.
• Strategic Judgment: Demonstrated experience making high-judgment decisions that impact the entire business, particularly in environments with aggressive SLAs and fluctuating volume patterns.
• Operational Architecture: Take ownership in documenting best practices into governed frameworks and playbooks.
• Resilient Mindset: Comfortable operating autonomously in a 24/7 environment, with the flexibility to adapt to operational needs as part of a high-impact, interdependent team.
• Systems Fluency: Familiarity with Amazon Connect, Zendesk Omnichannel routing, and Assembled WFM is highly preferred.

What Success Looks Like

• Operational anomalies are quickly investigated, with root causes clearly identified and communicated, reducing repeat issues and leadership uncertainty.
• Queue management processes evolve from reactive to a documented, standardized, and predictive operating model.
• Champion of the team’s brand with Operational Leadership, relied upon as the primary source of truth for critical staffing and operational decisions.
• Live queues remain stable, governed, and resilient across all supported lines of business, even during unexpected spikes, outages, or incidents.
• Stakeholders receive timely, clear updates during incidents that explain impact, cause, and corrective actions in a concise and actionable manner.
