Workforce Scheduler, Second-Shift

The Second-Shift Workforce Scheduler is responsible for managing intraday staffing and schedule performance during afternoon, evening, and weekend operating hours in a 24/7 contact center. This role helps ensure the right staffing is in place to meet service levels, occupancy targets, and customer demand by monitoring real-time performance, making same-day schedule adjustments, and partnering closely with operations leaders.

This position is especially important in environments where call volume is concentrated after-hours and on weekends. The scheduler serves as a key workforce management point of contact during high-risk coverage periods and helps stabilize staffing through schedule changes, overtime coordination, adherence follow-up, and queue balancing.
