We’re looking for a technical lead to provide expertise and knowledge to the team across a range of systems. The Mission Control team supports the business in delivering the best possible service results for all front line operational areas. Using their knowledge and the resources available, the team manages the delivery of global service through workforce management, against key KPIs and service targets.

By analysing data available to them, the team provides contextual and timely updates on service impacts and resources to key stakeholders. Our team is a key point of contact for various departments across the business, with a main focus on ensuring the Operations team gets the necessary Tech support. We run the incident process and will manage escalations when required.

• Ensure the smooth running of service management, specifically developing strategies for service management and maintaining the tool suite. Our primary tools are Amazon Connect and New Relic, you will be responsible for configuring the tool to provide a range of real-time dashboards and historic data that are used by the rest of the team to monitor call centre service. You’ll also be tasked with providing some historical reports as and when required.
• Responsible for ensuring dialler outcomes which balance operational requirements with business needs.

• Managing incident escalations for high impact service problems will be an important aspect of the role. This involves coordinating the response of the Operations teams during an incident and communicating to stakeholders whilst the incident is ongoing.

What we are looking for:

• Experience with call centre reporting.
• A solid understanding of the principles of workforce management is important and experience of a similar system would be beneficial.
• A keen eye for data and detail is a must.
• Ability to remain calm when incidents arise.
• The Mission team provides the incident management function on a 24/7 basis. When we’ve got you up to speed with the role you’ll join our on-call rota (once every 3-4 weeks) and provide out of hours support to escalated incidents. This function would include a remuneration for being on standby and also standard overtime rates if you are asked to work out of hours. Typically we handle 1-2 call outs per week and these tend to be during the opening hours of the call centre (7am to 9pm, Mon to Sun).
