  • Professional Growth : Elevate your career through a range of Learning and Development opportunities at Palmerston North City Council.
  • Benefits : We do more than just pay you a salary too. We have awesome benefits to support you including 5 weeks annual leave.

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.

To help us shape this future, we’re looking for a Workforce Management Analyst who thrives on data, optimisation and making systems hum. If you love turning complexity into clarity and doing it in a team that genuinely cares, this could be the role for you!

This is a full-time role with hybrid work options, ideal for someone who loves data, problem-solving, and improving how people and systems work together.

Key focus areas

  • Optimising shifts and resourcing : Monitoring demand and designing effective, flexible shift patterns that support team satisfaction and service delivery.
  • Making smart decisions through data : Using forecasting, modelling, skills‑based routing and scenario testing to ensure our resourcing matches real‑time needs.
  • Maintaining operational excellence : Recording seasonal and business changes, analysing trends, and providing accurate reporting on workforce performance.
  • Supporting our technology : Managing and developing our Workforce Management tool and assisting with administration of our cloud telephony platform (Genesys Cloud) across phone, email, webchat and walk‑ins.
  • 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).
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work with a diverse range of stakeholders.
  • Excellent decision‑making, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
  • A commitment to continuous improvement and delivering great customer service.
