Overview:
To manage, hone and provide world class, real time support to Comcast Contact Centers, Vendor Partners and our Customers by consistently exceeding Service Level and occupancy performance targets.
The NROC Analyst continuously monitors customer care performance across the Comcast internal contact centers, vendor partners and national programs. The NROC Analyst plays a key role in real time activities for the contact centers including incident management, change management, UIVR messaging management and call routing administration. The NROC Analyst must influence others to take actions to ensure the enterprise achieves its interval and daily goals. The NROC Analyst works directly with division ROC’s and National Service Desks to analyze and validate factors contributing to missed KPIs, determine and deploy immediate corrective actions, and monitor the effectiveness of the plan. Each NROC Analyst team member provides a critical communication link between the division ROC’s, contact center’s management teams, XOC’s and XNOC’s to drive results in meeting service level and occupancy requirements.
A significant portion of the NROC’s time is spent documenting and communicating contact center performance to all levels of management. These duties include real-time and post-mortem event analysis, root cause diagnostics and the timely communication of each event. The NROC Analyst must have strong mathematical and analytical skill sets, and uses these skills in conjunction with specialized software to monitor intra-day staffing levels, adherence and call volume delivery compared to forecast, to drive the most effective methods of staffing adjustments. This activity includes adjustments to call routing design, and the coordination of volume deliver to 3rd party vendors. The NROC Analyst role monitors both internal and external events for their impact to business, and maintains communication across departments to acquire and communicate details that influence service level performance, average speed of answer, call volume delivery, AHT or adherence against schedules.
