About the role

At PNCC, our Contact Centre is evolving, and people are at the heart of that transformation. We’re not just answering calls; we’re building a smarter, more connected customer experience for our community and for 45 councils across Aotearoa who rely on us after hours.

  • Collaborating with people : Working closely with Team Leads, People & Performance, and industry partners to plan recruitment, identify opportunities and champion continuous improvement.
  • About you

    You’re an analytical, detail‑focused and collaborative professional who enjoys using data to make meaningful improvements. You’re comfortable working independently, but thrive in a team environment where you can contribute ideas and drive better outcomes for staff and customers.

    Qualifications

  • Expert experience (3+ years) using Workforce Management tools plus relevant technical certification.
  • Advanced Excel skills for modelling, forecasting and scenario planning.
  • Knowledge of contact centre operations, scheduling principles, and skills‑based routing.
  • Familiarity with cloud telephony platforms (Genesys Cloud experience advantageous).
