Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain optimized, multi-department schedules; manage time off and non-productive activities to achieve service level targets across all contact channels
  • Interpret automated performance signals and intraday data to make strategic staffing decisions — including queue routing changes, skill adjustments, and escalations — that protect service levels and customer experience
  • Facilitate daily and weekly performance reviews with operations leaders: identify root causes of variance (volume, AHT, shrinkage), recommend corrective actions, and drive follow-through to improve staffing outcomes
  • Manage queue and skill routing changes — including agent reassignment and cross-training decisions — to align staffing with demand and maintain service level achievement
  • Design, build, and continuously improve WFM automation — including intraday alert systems, push reports, dashboards, and workflow integrations — using AI tools and scripting to scale the team’s capacity, reduce manual effort, and advance next-generation WFM capabilities
  • Communicate proactively — verbally and in writing — with internal stakeholders and external vendors to surface staffing impacts, propose mitigations, and deliver data-driven insights to leadership
  • Participate in an on-call PagerDuty rotation to monitor and respond to real-time alerts — including system outages, service level breaches, and routing failures — ensuring rapid escalation and resolution during off-hours incidents
  • Serve as a system administrator for WFM and routing tools — making and driving configuration and routing changes under the guidance of the admin/systems teams — acting as the support layer that operationalizes tooling and routing changes
  • Provide leadership and accountability across the team — upholding team standards, taking ownership of outcomes, and driving work forward across scheduling and intraday operations
  • Serve as a data analytics subject-matter expert — surfacing actionable, meaningful data and influencing internal stakeholders and customers toward decisions we can act on

Skills

  • 7-8+ years of contact center WFM experience spanning scheduling, intraday, operational reporting
  • AI fluency required: Demonstrated ability to adopt and operationalize AI tools in a WFM or contact center context; hands-on experience building automations (alert systems, reporting pipelines, workflow integrations). Gusto is an AI-forward company and active AI use is expected daily
  • Strong analytical and data visualization skills; demonstrated experience building dashboards and interactive reporting tools to surface WFM insights for operations and leadership
  • Demonstrated experience with WFM platforms and a track record of quickly learning and adopting new tools and technologies
  • Excellent judgment, communication, and problem-solving skills — able to translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for stakeholders at all levels
  • Demonstrated leadership and accountability — able to set standards, influence outcomes, and drive results across a team
  • Demonstrated track record of owning WFM automation or tooling initiatives end-to end
  • Data analytics subject-matter expertise — turning data into clear, actionable insights that influence stakeholder and customer decisions; hands-on system administration/configuration of WFM and routing tools
  • Familiarity with COPC, ICMI, and/or SWPP standards
  • Coverage hours are between 6am-6pm MT
  • When approved to work from a location other than a Gusto office, a secure, reliable, and consistent internet connection is required. This includes non-office days for hybrid employees
